Have you priced up all genuine kwak bearings? Just you can definately get some cheaper from a bearings factor.

wheels are some of the bearing i can prolly get from a bearing factor but im sure a couple of the suspension/swingarm linkages are kwak only jobbies

You can definately get quite a few of the linkage bearings from a bearings place, I think the needle rollers in the botom linkage ones and some of them in the linkage unit are easy enough to get, seem to remember about 4/5 quidish (but may be wrong 
)

Don't go just by part numbers. Take samples down to your local bearing supplier and he can measure them up and most likely find a suitable replacement.
Cheers mate, Scott.

I found brt bearings in Southampton ( on the industrial estate opp. west quay) most helpful, I just took in the old bearing and they sorted me out.

Got some bearing appear today
BRT werent able to match the Swingarm bearings, so those are OEM along with sleeves as the ones in the bike are duff (£80.00 all in for those )
Other bearing i have ordered from BRT and they were helpful so recommended,
so ALL of the bearing for my bike should come in at under £150 which i think is good, should mean it will as tight as a nun's whatist.
next on the list is get my mate to assist pressing them in (this project stuff is a big learning curve
)
erm get a set of boots for it and polish the fork legs.
so depending on time and cash flow possibly have a rolling chassis by next month
