I have buy an aftermarket bearing carrier on EBAY (Double row bearing with aluminum carrier H-2) but it seem that this kind of carrier don't have the groove for the bearing holder O-RING....is it normal...i don't need to put this kind of O-RING with an aftermarket carrier?

I like the orings in the OEM carriers but guys don't use them with the aftermarket carriers...

[Sinbad46]

the OEM carrier have grooves for O-ring..but not the aftermarket one...

I have all aftermarket ones, none have grooves for o-rings. You'll be fine, just put some anti-seize on the carrier before you put it in the swingarm and if you ride in some nasty stuff, give it a turn after you wash it.
