Been in touch with the MoCo. Stronger bearing fitted for 2007 bikes. It would appear that for some reason there is a lot of extra stress being placed on that primary bearing, I wonder why? I don't think HD can just walk away from the people who bought the earlier version, especially when they issued written work admitting the problem.
Thanks for the input guys.

Well, so far so good with the bearing in mine, but if it goes, I dont care that HD changed their mind on the integrity of the bearing...they knew there was a problem and I have thepaper with them admitting it. They will fix it. I think it is funny that they said there was no more issues with the bearing, but then advertised a newer srtonger one in the 07 tranny....hmmmmm???

Well, I don't know if it's official or not, but I purchased an inner primary bearing for my 06' today, and while there, I had him look up the 07' just for $hits and giggles. It lists the same bearing as the 06'.

We all new the bearing would be the same. These bearing problems should be taken care of years ago. There should be a recall on all these bikes. They are hoping that some peple don't know about these problems and just live with the problems. That is why we educate ourselves with forums like these.

Thats what I was told also.. They said the problem with the '06 bearing is that a retainer clip could be mounted as to block the oil flo... and that the assembly people were not instructed on this problem untill later in the production...

If my bearing goes after warranty.......They will get a chance to view the letter they sent me in small claims court. It would be pretty difficult for a major manufacturer to deny the bearings were bad from the start when you have a letter on their letterhead that is an addendum to their owners manual. Besides, I'll just subpoena 1/2 of the HD executive staff to Cleveland to small claims court and they will pay.......or spend $10k in travel for the Chief Engineer & VP of Quality to sit in court over a $500 warranty claim.

.................................................. ............................
when I bought the bike I signed a paper that when they do a 15K service
they will pull apart and check the bearing for study?and replace if necessary.

It is called "Notice of Amendment to Owner's Manual".
It has my signature on it,
the signature of Steve Phillips, Vice President - Quality and Customer Service,
as well as the signature of the Dealer Representative (my saleslady).
The conditions are plain and simply stated, and, agreed to by all of the interested parties.
Case closed.
