For crying out loud, just get them both. Yeah the rr wheel does benefit more, but it's the little things that add up. I've got them and they are worth the money to me.

If the bike feels like it's lost 50 lbs just pushing it around the garage, you can imagine the friction difference when you're doing well over a 100.
Take off like a 13, flick it like a 6

I have them on the cams,Wheels and the Transmission and when tested on the Dyno on a stock BUSA it only made 2.7HP

I did not do a before and after test with the Bearings in the motor But let me say this you will need Better Brakes so Hp isnt every thing
When you let off the Gas the Bike just wants to keep going,Burt

I don't think GeorgeC saw any more mph on his bike from ceramic bearings.  But they do free up movement so they can't be bad...
