Cbr bearings

Fredo · Mar 9, 2021

After 100,000 miles I am thinking of changing out my front and rear wheel bearings as a preventative maintenance measure. Typically I just go to the local industrial supply house for my other equipment, but I thought I would check here first and found an older thread about it. In that thread “CBR“ bearings was mentioned by several members as though they have a kit. I looked up a CBR bearings but it was vague and the post was rather old. Does anyone have contact info for them?

Last time I bought them - Charlie Rowlett [cbr at tfb.com]
Great product and great support.

Spoke with Charlie today and he was able to get me what I needed sans the front seals. He told me OEM for those.
Thanks for the help!

I must stop equating "CBR" with Honda sportbikes.
Well, at least when I see "CBR bearings."

IIRC, CBR has 'life time warranties' on their bearings - for what that is worth.

Sooooo off-topic, but I just hafta ask:
My wife is always losing her bearings. Can CBR help?
The life time warranty just triggered that thought.

NOTE; CBR no longer has bearings for the ST1300 as per my inquiry to them.

I guess that means I have "collector's edition"

Still in the original shipping box, been sitting on a closet shelf

Perhaps go to local bearing supplier and ask for NTN, NSK, Timken, etc. Take the numbers off the bearings with you.....
