the ceramic balls are lighter, rounder, harder offer less friction and stay cooler = less heat expansion = less friction = last longer and puts more power to the ground, better fuel economy...I came across these while researching crank bearings. company name is Worldwide Bearings. what are your thoughts? any body using them in these triples?

We use ceramic bearings at work for spindles... That's about all I know. You really only need them if you want to buzz the livin crap out of your motor. Bill Baxter from Kawi2strokes uses them everywhere on his race bike, I know I'd be bending his ear if I was in the market. I'm sure he could tell you the magnitude of improvement over steel bearings regarding frictional losses etc. on a triple.

From what I remember, the cost per hp was extremely high.

They still have steel races subject to pitting and corrosion.
