Default Deal on wheel bearings?
I'm 99% sure these are the correct bearings for 25mm axle, and SKF is a solid bearing company:

That's the correct # for SKF for a 25mm sealed wheel bearing. .but I'd be wary of that price. When I sourced my bearings recently SKF's were around $20/ea. I went with these:

http://www.amazon.com/Timken-Bearing-Double-Capacity-Dynamic/dp/B006KSNEMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397233041&sr=8-1&keywords=timken+205pp http://www.amazon.com/Timken-Bearing-Double-Capacity-Dynamic/dp/B006KSNEMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397233041&sr=8-1&keywords=timken+205pp

Made in USA.

Buy the Harley replacement bearing. The newer number with an A after the number is made with a deeper groove the ***** roll in! If you go with the SKF's, go with the 6205-2RSJ - double sided metal shields!

Meh, if I am going to pay the Harley price, I'll get the Timken 205pp listed above, the SKF link must be a knockoff

I think if going SKF I recall the # actually being 6205-2RSJEM that you'd want.

As to Harley's special bearings. .I guarantee they don't make them, so I'd put more faith in USA made Timken's than whatever Harley is pushing (and at $30 a pop IIRC).

Good_Apollo, I hope you have the right remover/installer.

I bought some "Harley" bearings from the dealer for my Sportster a couple of years ago and they were stamped SKF. Just saying.

I really don't think putting $4 bearings in a $20,OOO bike makes much sense.

I don't think it makes sense to pay $30 for $4 bearings.
