Default Steering bearings at NAPA?

I need a lower neck bearing for my 92 Softail. Is this something I can get a my local NAPA or bearing supply store? What about the dust shield?
If so, what is the part number??


Thanks

If the guy behind the counter knows what he is doing he should be able to cross reference the bearing number.
You can also go to a bearing supply house.
Dont think you need a dust sheild since the are enclosed in the neck.

NAPA's quality has went down to the Pep boy's level in the last couple of years. Last time I went to buy bearings all they had were the cheap chinese ones. I had to go to Green light to find Timken bearings.
As with most of corporate america it is more important to make that extra 50 cents than to give you what you paid for.
They still charge the premium prices though.

But Timken owns plants around the world, including China. Guess they'd be the expensive Chinese ones.
