now, that its been a while - how is it? I've had that setup in my bike for a while, now, and it feels solid. I've also been chasing a vibration I can't figure out. I've been told my vibes are due to the bearing kit. How is yours? Any different than before?

So far so good! I’ve been riding a ton and things feel great!

With that being said, the outside bearing on the exhaust side would slide in and with little resistance when I was installing so who knows what the future holds for it.

Mine is awesome! I haven't done much riding the last few months, but the bike handles like it's on rails now. It was well worth the $$ and work to install it.
