Saito 50 Ball Bearing Size
Anyone know the stock number on these bearings. Is it the same as the 56? Other than Horizon where can I get them? Maybe boca bearing?

RE: Saito 50 Ball Bearing Size
Thanks hobbsy,
I went to there site and found the bearing "kit". Does this mean there are both bearings in the kit? I know horizon has them listed separately. Is the "econo/power the same quality as saitos original?

Warning! Saito has the nasty habit of changing internals without telling anyone about it. They will change the letter designator on the rh mounting lug, you need to give the letter also when ordering parts. And I've gotten wrong parts even when I included the letter with the model number.
The safest thing is to get the numbers off the original bearings.

I think Boca is taking ya'll for a ride.
I'd take the bearings down to a local bearing house and get them there, or if that doesn't
work...order them from Horizon.
Do your homework on bearings!!!!!!!
When your Saito .50 starts turning 75K rpm...you might need the fancy stuff.
In the meantime, a more basic bearing is more cost effective, and just as good as the
OEM ones. Not to mention...a WHOLE lot cheaper.
My $0.02.

It's not being taken for a ride when you like what you pay for. The Boca's are some fine smooth and easy turning bearings. I've never had to replace any of them.

RE: Saito 50 Ball Bearing Size
I ordered the econo/power without telling them the order sequence. Hope I get it right. I'll let you know. Dont need ceramic, stainless steel, high performance, High speed. Just one that works. Hopefully the same quality as Horizon. I dont have a bearing supplier and Boca was cheaper by $10 or so.
