Wow.  It's almost to the point that one of these engines can't be rebuilt for lack of rod bearings.  

When rebuilding my 750 engine, I used the best bearings from my original engine and a parts engine I picked up.  Fortunately, the parts engine had the same color bearings.  

For information’s sake, what about ZR-7 bearings?  The PN's are different, but can they be used with the earlier engine?

Hi Ed, yes, I find it a bit strange  having trouble finding the bearings, Part numbers are different for most bikes using these bearings which doesn't help, they also changed colours for them with the different part numbers, so I have to try and find the specs to match them up.    I've also thought about using the best of my old bearings too.
