I now have a season on this bearing and thought I'd report & recommend:
http://www.enduroforkseals.com/id275.html

Its on my '08 TranceX. The bearing kit replaces the eyelet & reducer "DU" bushing in the ends of the shock. I only replaced the top which on my frame gets most of the movement and wear.
The reduction in stiction http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Stiction is noticable. Maintenance was easy & minimal: After 3 months, inspection looked good. After a year I noticed minor oxidation which cleaned up easily. I re greased with Slick Honey & it seems good as new.
So far its lasted as long as the DU's.
