Getting front wheel powder coated and and figured good time to replace bearings as they have never been replaced. Any preferred brand/make of bearings or get the MOCO EOM from dealer?
Thanks in advance

 

Personally, I would stick with HD brand bearings.

 

I went with All *****, no problems...

 

I have all ***** as well. It's not like your going to notice a difference with either bearing. Get what you can get to facilitate your build and get back on the bike.

 

You can mail order the aftermarket or you can go with the factory bearings. If you get them from the dealer they can install them at a nominal fee while you wait. Just remind them of the year of your bike because there is a offset of the bearings for the 07.

 

I could tell you one that would last 200k, but its for an FLHR.

I decided to replace one that one had 80k on it last year. I was little nervous. It just seems a lot worse now a days. Though I talked to one guy, who claims he did his every other tire change. Maybe fronts. He had an old bike too.

I would be ciurous if somethign better than OEM. I got to think there is.

They also say to make sure and you tq wrench on the newer styles. Though my first tire, I pulled on that breaker bar, until a crapped my drawers.

 

For the 2000-07 bikes specifically ... (and at this current point in time) ... get the OE bearings (Original Equip)



.

 

And when a guy with bearings as his Sig Pic tells you which bearings to get............ get them!

 

... And I still need to update it with the newest 9252A ABS bearing ... (has a Gray outer seal, but still with an Orange inner)

 

Thank you for the info gentlemen. Very much appreciated!
