- April 27, 2018, 19:02:11 PMyeah...I looked at all the internal bearings in the diagrams...none are that small....it's definitely a mystery

- April 27, 2018, 14:17:08 PMThat's a caged ball bearing, so there should be bits of that, too....As I remember, that was also a pretty large bearing with bigger than bb size elements...

- April 27, 2018, 08:40:13 AMI have not had one apart. But the 92045 bearings in this diagram look (to me) like ball bearings... and I'm thinking would be just about the right size, unfortunately, for your mystery bearings.

- April 27, 2018, 07:22:52 AMGreenbarn...I went through every possible parts diagram of the VN1500 engine.....all the smaller bearings used in on the internal shafts are roller bearings....nothing that small uses round bearings....but I will still take your advice and take them to a tech and see what they say....
thanks,

- April 26, 2018, 21:45:18 PMI think those look like muffler bearings, probably got back internally somehow through the exhaust valve, and ended up sucking back through the Kuhneutson Valve , and winding up down in the oil pan. .... 
.... sorry, I couldn't resist, LOL.
I do not know for sure, where those could have come from. What about the case bearings on the ends of the crank and the balancer shaft and the trans input and output shafts?? I think it would make me pretty nervous-- worth taking them to your local friendly Kaw dealer, to ask a tech if he recognizes them.

- April 24, 2018, 17:05:47 PMNot trying to be a dick but are you sure they weren't in the oil change pan before you dropped the oil? They look like they're bicycle size.
