The bike has the EML 15" wheels. I have the wheels off the bike, replacing rotted tires. Since the wheels are off, I thought I might change wheel bearings and seal. Any suggestions for suppliers for these items?

Thanks,

Les

Les, whilst there are several aftermarket selections available,  I would at least try to get the OEM Honda bearings and seals...."IF" EML used the Honda original parts in their wheels. 

You can reach out to EML....and ask.

You can also check with Euro-Wing in Florida,  as they were getting all things EML, and building sidecar rigs. 

If you find them unavailable,  these bearings can be found in other places,  but you could ASK a Honda dealership for the specs on these original bearings and seals,  such as OD, and ID, and width.

Some company like ALL BALLS BEARINGS may already have a kit that includes everything you need.
