Hmmmm then you'd have to call the company mostly balls but some rollers.

That's why I suggested the separate branch, but I like your solution better.

FYI. I contacted Jess to buy wheel bearings, street head bearings and spokes. He said he has virtually nothing for my bike. I also contacted another vendor to buy wheels. He stopped replying to my email.

Contact http://www.hvccycle.com/wheel-bearings.html and http://www.hvccycle.com/bearings-bushings.html. http://www.diablocycle.com/-Kawasaki-Triples-H1-H2-KH-and-S-Series/ is also a long-time vendor for us Triple guys (they were formerly called reproduction decals) located north across the border, and the owner/operators Andre and Ellen will set you up with just about any part you could ever want. If you haven't tried yet, John at http://www.midatlanticcycle.com/store/ may be able to supply you some of your parts needs as well, and he also sells on eBay under the same name. I know for a fact both the wheel bearings and tapered steering bearings are available, as I replaced both in my S2 350 last year and purchased them each off ebay if I recall. If you have any trouble finding a specific part, post here, or pm me personally and I will try to point you in the right direction.

I can't say enough good things about John at Mid Atlantic.

The S3 is a little harder to find some parts for. I can't remember but I think I got my steering bearings from All Balls or Reproduction Decals. I remember they were pricey. I got all of my wheel bearings from McMaster-Carr. You can take the numbers from your bearings and go to any bearing distributor and get them cheap. Seals too. New DID wheels from Z1 Enterprises under $100 each. Look around, there is no one stop shop for S3 parts. PM me for more information if you get stuck.
