    Searching for Rear Axel Bearings / Seal Kit for a 1982 Yamaha XS1100
    I've seen a few but was wondering what is the better one available, OEM or aftermarket?

    I personally try to use All Balls bearings/seals when available for any of my bikes. I especially like their fork seals.

    Just about any non Chinese made bearing is good.
    Yamaha part numbers contain the size within it
    9330(6-304)37-00 = 6304

    Do note that All Balls repackages bearings from many suppliers, and what supplier they use varies pretty regularly.
    Pay attention to what they actually ship you.


    Also note the flashy thing in the upper right hand corner of every page.

    While that is true for the bearings, their catalog is also great for custom applications (swapping frontends). I've never had an issue with any of their fork seals as they truly do have a third sealing lip instead of just 2. I live down 3 miles of gravel so dust and grit is always an issue for my bikes.

    They don't cost anymore then the non-branded "white box" bearings (which are the same anyways), so just do it for the sticker lol
