Hi all. 2012 Fat Bob FXDF. need info on bearing part numbers and quantity. Have heard that 1 on each side of front wheel and 2 for drive belt side of rear and 1 bearing on brake side. Truth to this?

Thanks!

I also switched to the timken (fafnir) ball bearings. So far so good!! They are tractor bearings rated at 1760 lbs static load and 3600 lb dynamic load. As long as some farmers let these run in their tractors I think we should get a decent life out of them.

Part number 205PP

My axle is 25mm or 1 inch. I'm pretty sure yours is the same, but double check.
