Im running a '78 LTD kz1000 frame with a 2" extended aftermarket swingarm. My question is it better to run two or four bearing?

What did the aftermarket swingarm call for? I run a 2 inch over Zuki arm and I run the stock Zuki bearings in it--one per side.bj

I can run either sleeve with two or four bearings on each side. Will it effect performance?

I'd think more bearings will reduce the load that two would by themselves, making for longer life...
