Went to HD with part no, was given new bearings but different part no.
The belt side might look OK (compared to Right), but it moved within the bore also ... for the wheel to move to the left, it has to move on BOTH bearings. BTW the wheel can never move on the bearings to the Right (unless something broke).
The bearing #s have just added a "B" (latest rev) since your bike was made. Now 9276B

is the bearing too small? or maybe I damaged hub when my bearing blewout? not sure now. Will take off front wheel to check those.

Wouldn't recommend "Driving" the bearings in (particularly the second one).
No, the bearings weren't too small. I can see those are the Correct Factory harley bearings

You can implement a variation of that idea, but you wouldn't want to literally TRY to "Bottom Out" that Left Rear (Secondary Side) Bearing. It would be unreasonable and unnecessary to make a Spacer Sleeve to the "Perfect" size (+/- .000") to make the bearing "bottom" and at the same time have NO bearing Preload when the axle is torqued down. Sealed Bearing wheels don't work like that.
What you can do (applies only to the 08-later wheels) is after Installing the Primary Bearing (Right on Rear), measure the height difference between the sleeve and the bearing pocket, then make a Bearing shim that is .010-.015" thinner (that would be your MAX "movement).
Examples Below ... NOT exact Dyna wheels

multihdrdr you are the man!
Thanks so much I will definitely do this to my wheel!
I have picked my bike up and so far ( about 150ks ) the wheel has not moved. HD did not charge me. Which I was very appreciative of!
Hey I have same issue on my 08 fatbob rear pads falling out and rotor cutting into the hanger.
did you guys all get this resolved? Some epic comments here on the bearings. Desperate to get mine fixed.
