I bought a new AEM Factory triple clamp. What are people doing for bearings when replacing these? I read tapered is the way to go, but then I read it isn't. Not sure anymore.

Anyone?

My '96 Monster has tapered bearings. When they went bad it was very sketchy at speed in a corner. Ducati switched at some point. I don't wonder why.
