I have installed both roller and taper swing arm bearing of my 300's , I just bought a set of bearings and seals for my swing arm stretch project and I went with OEM from Partzilla

I am to the point that I am only going to use OEM bearings , I had enough of allballs , moose and boss , if you are going to ride around in your yard then the after market bearing will do , but I really feel the after market doesn't hold if to extreme riding , they are cheap for a reason

I agree with over tightening does push the frame , you can see happen it if you watch it close and over tighten it -------- I tighten the left side to 83 lbs , and then the right side adjuster to 36 in lbs which is 3 ft lbs ( practically nothing ) , and the jam nut of the adjuster to 83 ft lbs ------if you over tighten the adjuster you can cause damage to the bearing

it doesn't even take too much pressure to move the frame --------------------- screw force is a pretty powerful thing , let me demonstrate it by tightening up on the vise with your finger in it , the opposite direction of movement but the same force
