All ball steering stem bearings & all ball wheel bearings

I am told and reviews I can find on line tell me these are far better then the bearings Kawasaki install at the factory in our 1700 Vulcans. I am wondering if anyone out there on this site has used them and have experienced any positives or negatives using these. I now have about 45 thousand kms on bike and feel it is time to have fork oil changed and might as well have these bearings changed at the same time. Is All Ball Roller Bearings that much better I am told they are and told their head sealing is much better to.

How does any of you feel about doing this at this mileage or is it not necessary to do any of this more just keep riding a bit longer. It is stored in winter in heated space so I think that makes a big difference never gets the big variance in temp change but does get washed often.

We some times do repairs to early when we do not need to have the out lay of the bucks.
