Tire wear
I have a 2001 Fatboy my tire in the rear wears way too fast. I was thinking this may be due to a bearing any thoughts?

Doubtful it’s wesring because of a bearing, unless it’s wearing only on one side. Probably more to do with your wrist.

The 200 rear tires on Fatboys wear quickly. I would on average get 6000 miles on a rear tire on my 2012 Fatboy.

2001 should have a 140 or 150 max on the rear. I replaced the rear on my 150's about every 5 to 6 thousand miles. Brake pads get replaced at the same time. I have a heavy throttle hand.
