I'm about to order one for myself too. I replaced the right-hand rear hub about a year ago and now the left is making a lot of noise.

There might be a few different types so check for yourself first but mine (GPvR w/ABS) is MR131217. Yours maybe different (can someone confirm?).

They aren't cheap. But if you have the money, maybe do both sides at the same time.

The part number for facelift rear wheel bearing is MR316500.

It's the same for both non ABS and ABS models.

The difference between the prefacelift and facelift rear bearing is that the ABS ring is built into the hub whereas the facelift has a transferable ring. It's a different design, don't buy prefacelift assemblies for your facelift, they won't fit.

Was $250 a side through amayama. There were no aftermarket alternatives when i got mine last year.
