4 speed trans roller bearings
The 4th gear and counter shaft (lose) bearings are no longer available from HD. What is a souce for good quality, ideally US made bearings?
Jim's used to have them but they are no longer listed in their catalog.
thanks,
Paul

Eastern Motorcycle Parts but they don't sell public, have to go thru dealer for them. Do not confuse with Eastern Parts. Some of the common retailers should be able to get them. They are the ONLY hard parts I've ever trusted other than OEM.

Eastern MC catalog, 2022 ~ 2024, page 143 is where the roller bearings are listed.

I looked in the latest MidUSA catalog and while they show the bearings in the images, there are no part numbers listed. I'll reach out to my sales person there and see if they may still have some.

Dixie and Eastern NOS stuff shows up on eBay regular, V-Twins will have them, usually from those sources.

The V-Twin part# is 17-0145. My old 2010 cat shows Jims. They may still be, or else Eastern or Torrington - all good. All the usual suspects carry that V-Twin part number.
And here's some from American Legend on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/162182933932

I have not miced the race yet. It looks good, but I'll mic it and then lightly hone it to be sure its true. From HD, they came in std (.125), .0004, .0008 and .001. I have all new gears, mainshaft and counter shaft, so all that needs to be miced for fit.
I checked the Jims web site and they did not list the bearings, but I know they did in the past. I have a good friend that has hundreds of boxes of HD bearings from a closed dealer, but he hasn't had time sort them yet. Between the suggestions here and him, I think I will find what I need.
Thanks to everyone that responded. Much appreciated. I'll post some pictures of the bike as I received it and then some progress.
