J&P is advertising a V-Twin Manufacturing ABS Wheel Bearing set that will fit my 2012 Road King, and today is their last day offer of 10% off orders ($99.00 & over). Has anyone used these, and are they comparable to the "All-*****" bearings ?

 

What is an "ABS" wheel bearing?

 

My 2012 Road King has the anti-lock brake system (abs), and the bearings need to be compatible which I believe is a regular bearing on the right side and an abs bearing on the left - for both front and back wheels. Below is the J&P advertisement for the V-Twin Manufacturing bearings that are compatible with HD 9252 bearings.

V-Twin Mfg (aka Taiwan Tedd) is well known for their imported Chinese/Taiwanese knock-off parts. There is no way I would buy their wheel bearings or any other "critical" part. Just my 2¢

 

Thanks ... that was the info I was looking for. I am hesitant to go with the HD bearings as there have been so many issues (in the past), and I cannot find an ABS set through All-*****, so still looking for an alternative.

Thanks again for the info on the (Taiwan/China) parts.

Hopefully the aftermarket will come through with a quality American made set of replacement bearings.

 

you would think someone would be selling high quality American made bearings for these things by now.
