Default Inner primary leak

Had a heck of a time lately fixing my inner primary leak. Finally found the inner primary bearing had a cracked inner race. I cut a little groove in it at the crack, then stuck a screw driver into the groove to spread it to remove the bad race.
Thank You! to someone on this forum for that trick, I read it some where here.
Anyway I thought now would be a good time to switch to a sealed bearing. Anybody have feedback on those?

From what I hear you can pay tons 'o money for the HD replacement, or go with a baker IPB.

The OEM IPB race cracked on my '04 Dyna, & I was able to pull it off by hand without any grinding.

Anyways, I replaced the OEM race/bearing setup with a one-piece IPB from All ***** Racing. Way cheaper, easy to install (no race install tool needed), and so far (10k mi) has been great. No probs. I would never go back to that idiotic race/bearing setup.
