The very existence of this thread seems to be an incontrovertible argument against that strategy. Plus, the expense of maintaining two parts in inventory...

IPB kits maybe? Techs could match the IPB bearing number in the kits to the race in the kit to verify it was the proper size for the year/model. Superseding would mean that the 07 and down IPB kits they put out would have the same bearing as the 08 and up kits. No part number on the race to verify it's size.

One group doesn`t want to use the updated part because they don`t want to share the cost of development, and they are satisfied with the old design part.

New Guy: Why do we do it this way?
Old Guy: We've always done it this way...
Hope it all works out.
All this over $15 or was it $18, I'm so confused.
I went to the Harley shop today, where I know all the parts and service people. Bought a couple of jets for a Keihin $11. Yea I could have gotten a kit with 6 on the internet for $12.
Something to said for buying from people you know, that know bikes, and will back it up and help whenever needed. Saving a couple of buck is great, dealing with people who have rebuilt what you are working on and know a few tricks is priceless.

In the end, I ended up using a 67571.1 bearing from Drag. It isn’t the right one either, but at least I knew the race was right.
Sure there are new ones who come through, but I hang back or they see me and give a know, meaning I got you shortly.
Certainly not saying I don't buy off the web, just saying with the people we have here and all the take offs they've givin me, I deal with them when I can.
Cheating - Sold parts with the GM in the mid 70's, son worked parts and service, and yea I buy a few bikes they can't take in trade.

No, at least for me, it's not about the money; it's about what is the correct part, and is the correct part the best part for the application?
