You can take your old bearings to any bearing shop and they can match them up.

Hi,

If you get the generic 2RS6302 they will have seals on both sides of the bearing. Thanks to Mr. bwringer for sharing his knowledge. 6302 for the front and 6303 for the rear, on the GS shaft drive bikes.


Thank you for your indulgence,

While most of us may recognize those bearing numbers, parts depts of local shops will NOT be able to look them up that way. You'll have to give him the model of the bike. Dont be detered if they give you any crap about how he doubts he has them since they're Zook parts or whatever, because i know for a fact that Honduh used the EXACT same bearings in many of thier bikes.

Also those codes (6203 6303, etc) are apparently old Chicago Steel Bearing Co codes, and most places may not use them anymore..

If you have a Fastenal store in your town they keep the 6302-2RS and 6303-2RS in stock for about $3 each (mine does anyway)

I don't understand why Napa charges $11-36 for them

Napa 6302-2RS
BRG 63022RSJ $36
PGB P63022RSJ $14

Napa 6303-2RS
BRG 63032RSJ $36
PGB P63032RSJ $11

It's easy to guess what the other part numbers would be.
