Well, just an update on my roller bearing conversions. Both of my personal bikes and 2 of my spare engines and a couple of customer engines have been converted from bushing bearing to roller bearings.
So far so good. I have about one tank of fuel on my bike and it runs great. I could blow smoke up your a** and tell you that that the bike runs smoother, rev's higher, and pulls stronger but I really can't tell a difference. I can tell you that I am very sure that the bearing will easily last as long as other engine components and that a 50:1 mixture should be fine but I will run mine at a 42:1 only because it is easier to measure out 3 oz per gallon.
I still have 6 bearings left from my last order and if you wish to purchase one, check out my classified ad. I personally feel the engines should have these put in at the factory and is a must for every new engine install.
