A & R Racing do list them specifically for your year 2000 750 but list them with the same part number as my '97 900.
What type frame has yours got Jeff?

Mine has a hoop-type frame.
Tbh I was discounting there being any differences at the headstock between it and the later, tie-rod type of frame but now I'm not so sure.
And yes, the All Balls listings for either your 900 and specifically my 2000 750 .. part no 1062 .. look to be the ones I need.
..and 1039 for the later, tie-rod frames perhaps ? .. which are possibly the same as the ones I listed originally, possibly oversize, and probably wrong for my frame.
So I guess that answers my original question well enough, ie the bearings listed for the later 750 will not necessarily fit my frame .. which is enough warning to avoid them.
At first I was put off by the "All Balls" name, tbh.
It sounded a bit "mickey mouse" to me.
But reading their blurb, I think I might have been judging them unfairly.
The seals look the same though, so I'm not sure whether to anticipate issues there.
I assume you had no such issues then, Flip ?
