BST replacement front bearings... OEM?

[stopintime]

Shit - I'm 2,000 miles from home with busted front wheel bearing(s).

Tried calling Motowheels (also emailed) to get advice on the question: 'OEM Ducati bearings ok'. Not open/not available....

I can get it fixed in a day or two if OEM works...

The OEM bearings are probably SKF.  Anyway, they can be crossed referenced to another brand.  These guys  https://www.allballsracing.com/  are reputable can supply you probably as quick as Motowheels if you can't find bearings locally.

Thanks Howie - the question is specifically if the bearings in the BST wheels are equal to OEM.

[stopintime]

Stephano at MotoWheels measured a bearing from BST they had and those measurements are equal to the OEM 70250451A/SKF 6005 2RS . If that info is correctly understood and communicated....

[Speeddog]

6005 is the industry designation of the size, 25mm x 47mm x 12mm (Inner diameter x outer diameter x width)

2RS means it has 2 rubber seals.

That is indeed the designation/size of the OEM 'large axle' front wheel bearings.

How did I miss BST?

>>>How did I miss BST?

I thought he meant "Best", I.e. are there better bearings than OEM.

Took a while to get them, but they fit 

I missed my train from Vienna to Hamburg today because of the delivery delays and am forced to ride the distance (I think Italians just don't see logistics as a worthy excerzise)

Heading home tomorrow, from Cortina to Kiel, Sunday 500 miles,  Monday morning 250. Ferry to Oslo and home Tuesday.



I'll make a picture report later.
