Been using All ***** for a long time , no complaints . If you really want them to last a little longer , you can pop the seal off it and add more grease . I have a set ready for my next tire change .

I did the same as FavRK.... had front bearing failure on a trip. Got it replaced at HD dealer in VA. Came home and ordered All ***** bearings for rear and an install tool. Waiting for rear tire replacement and will change bearings at same time. And add extra grease.

I searched the net and found some ceramic bearings. Can't remember off hand from whom, but they have a lifetime warrantee. they were around $200 though. I put them in my Chrome front wheel with the intention of never having to replace them so the chrome would not get damaged during r&r.
