Ive heard of them but have never used them. A lot of the Gold Wing riders use those bearings and like them.

They are supposed to be a good quality bearing from what Ive read. Its not really a conversion to install them on our bikes, since Nomads already have tapered bearings. Its just an aftermarket brand.

Those are the one's I have in mine (AllBalls). They are tapered roller bearings. I got mine from Dennis Kirk, but you might find them cheaper by shopping around.

I have some "All balls" wheel bearings in the front wheel. They are made from a company in China called KML, which appears to be a large bearing manufacturer. Mine have held up good for 1000 miles.
