Does anyone have recommendations for the best front wheel bearings that will fit a 2016 Low Rider S? I've started to notice my front end groaning everytime I get into a little turn. My buddies have all agreed with me it sounds like bearings going.

I am onto my extended warranty now but I have a feeling the bearings are going to cost less than the 50$ deductible and I really don't feel like losing my bike for god knows how long so the dealership can swap them out. I have a 300 mile ride coming up in a few weeks and want to change them before then.

 

bearing swap takes less than an hour. timkin 205pp is the way to go. dealer will install the new metal bearing. still less than an hour. they may stretch it to 2 or 3 hours. o big deal. sooner you get it in there, sooner it gets done

 

Can/will the dealership use non-Harley parts?

 

It appears that Timken doesn't make a bearing for the ABS bikes. I ordered some AllBalls. They will be in my mailbox thursday. It's supposed to rain so I'll just throw it on a lift and change them myself. I only like the dealership/warranty for things I can't afford or don't want to fix myself.

 

Remove each bearing's dust cover and liberally coat w/ grease- before installing

Use a premium NLGI Grade 2 grease.

Shell/Chevron make decent greases.
