Clevite race series bearings. I have tried all the others, and wore them down to a nice copper glaze...lol. The clevites are the only thing that has taken the beating.

I wouldnt use a Fedal Mogul Bearing in my mini bike.

I have seen way to many bearing failures attributed to them being soft.
Depending on what crank you have, Either Stock or the Clevite (the hardened race if your crazy). You will have to hand chamfer the bearing on some stroker cranks to clear the large radiused cranks.
