1972 CB750 Rear wheel bearing question

fpcb750er
Thanks for everybody's posts, I've been a frequent reader!

I've replaced the rear tire/tube and "while the rear wheel is out" should I replace the wheel bearings just a matter of course?  I don't remember any drift or noise, and I don't know how old they are...

I saw one post on tricks on getting them out, any other secrets if you think they should be replaced?

Thank you all

They are relatively cheap if you want to replace them however if they spin I run em till they don't.

You can cheap bearing from some of the sites I posted in the parts list.
Look at your mileage and age though. If you have a fair mileage such as 30,000 and the bike being a 72, I would probably replace them.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
