I have always felt that a properly sized sleeve bearing was much quieter than the needle type. Nickel plating the bronze bearing sounds like a good idea! I think they look more original than the brass hanging out the end. Dave

I have an Oilite on my triumph that I had nickel plated because I do not like the brass look. How do the oilite bearings compare with the roller bearings?
