Swingarm Bearings?
I'm looking to get a stock swingarm extended.
Because of a backlog of work the fabricator predicts a couple of months turn round so I've decided to buy a donor arm.
I've found a suitable arm in good condition but it's of an 06 with unknown mileage.
Question is : should I replace the bearings before fitting the arm?

As cheap as they are and if you don't know the miles I would replace them, easier to do it now then have to take the arm back off.

That is what I was thinking but at £48 ($75+) for all four (without the seals) they're not that cheap.
I have the Kawasaki part numbers but does anybody know the bearing numbers.
When I can, I usually get bearings from a local F.A.G. supplier.
Quality bearings at a fraction of OEM prices.

I have al these part#s somewhere. I purchased all the these parts and the clips and bushing/spacer too and the swingarm nut tool from Schnitz and I have the Pit Posse bearing intall kit for bearings/ bushings slight press fit that are tuff to remove. I sold all the new parts and a chrome swing arm to C-Low, Andrell might read this and post all the Kawasaki part#s for the bearings and dust seals etc Bike bandit should have a diagram of the arm and all the parts and part#. Ron Ayers use to have Kawasaki parts and diagrams too so you can see all the different bearing and two different sizes ( I think) it's been two years. I don't think standard bearing will work these are different looking...you will see. I have a 2007 complete stock swing arm with both shafts and all the spacers.case of beer and you pay freight I'll send you arm with like new parts.. It came of a low milage street bike that went to Drag Strip.
