6205 is a standard bearing size. 2RS means 2 Rubber Seals (one on each side.)

2010 fatboy front bearings not much of a issue but rear bearings seem to last about 20,000 miles. Used all ***** brand for awhile until they moved to China. Timken bearings are going in during rebuild. I do my own work and have the proper tools. Would never trust a shop with this job.

Very informative, thanks guys! So, is Timken a brand of constructed bearing or the internal parts that other companies can use to produce a bearing? Also, what about the other letters that can follow RS? I've seen RS-JEM and several others. I really appreciate the info; this is one area of mechanics that I never worked in, so I don't know much.

Don't know.. I suspect that at that point it becomes supplier dependent.. I've seen running clearance added which is typically C1-C5 but C3 is typically assumed if not listed.

$34.69/ea., does that seem about right?

Took me a minute, but here's the thread with the photo I posted comparing OE to All ***** to Timken. Based on what I posted then (back in 2015) I used the Timken 205PP bearings on my non-ABS '09.

Not sure what the difference is between the 205PP and 6205-2RS.
