Got some All Balls from my local place, Jap MCs in Adelaide, $75. About the same on ebay or more I think.
Haven't put hem in but they seem OK as far as a visual inspection goes. Scavenged the balls and top race out of the RZR for the LC (best not ask) so the All balls will go in the RZR eventually.
Have put this general type in my old 31K in the UK years back, was a decent replacement.
Ex UK, now in Adelaide. LC250/350. DT175. Shed full of sh1t in the vague form of dismantled rusty RD’s and RZ’s.

Just received and fitted All Balls kit for LC Frame and to me they are noticeably better than the Pyramid Set which I still have (but didn't use)

Interesting I always assumed they were the same quality as they come in the same type of box and seem similar in other ways.
