Have 60k on my '14 Limited. Did need to replace the front wheel bearings at around 50k, but so far is the only time.

I did a search on All ***** and came up with this -

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...el-bearing-kit

I'm hoping the info is correct. One ABS review.

I'm on my phone so maybe it's different on the regular website, but it specifically states - **Note: Not for use on Harley-Davidson models equiped with ABS.

I could be wrong Nevada, lord knows it wouldn't be the first time. The Timken 205PP may be had somewhere else at a better price than the link I posted. That covers the NON ABS side. To my knowledge, HD is currently the only source for ABS bearings at this point. I'd love to find a better quality bearing (than stock HD which I think is a ***) for the ABS side. Heck, I'd pay more for it.

I have no experience with All ***** bearings.

You guys are right. I was focused on the blue font that says FRONT w/ABS, but as GTG says, it's noted not for bikes with ABS. WTF? I should have known though. It lists only the standard SG, not the Special.

Yeah, the wheel bearings for ABS bikes have magnetic spots on the outer race to send info to the ABS computer, so for ABS bikes it's either Chinese junk - at a premium price, of course - or nothing.

IMO, pretty much business as usual at the good ol' MOCO to have "designed" a magnetized race that can actually attract and/or retain any ferrous metal contamination from inside or outside the bearing, and then get them from China (where else?) on top of that.

Just fcukin' typical!
