Default Wheel bearing question. Who makes the best.

I have to do new sneakers on my Fat Bob.
I figure if the tires are coming off, I should do the wheel bearings at the same time.
I have used the search function, and I have also read something about Fxdf bearings failing sooner than other Dyna's.

I have read that all ballz are good, but wondering which ones I should order to drop at the Indy with the bike.


Off topic, but I'm also looking for a link and info on sprocket change while I have it apart.

Timken. 205PP if you have 25mm and non-ABS. All Ballz are foreign made just like the Harley ones.

Please forgive me, I am just trying to learn.
How would I know if I have 25mm, and I will Google, and it is a NON abs bike.

And am I correct in assuming that the fronts and rears will be the same bearing, and I will Beed 2 per axle.

Why not have your indy order them? You'll get the right ones and he'll probably warranty the work since you brought them from him. Disclaimer: I am not in anyway affiliated with your indy lol. Sorry I don't have any good technical information for you

To be honest, my Indy is BURIED with work.
I like to do the research myself, it helps me learn, and I've seen everyone make mistakes.
My local HD dealer is a juggernaut when it comes to making mistakes, this is why I use a local Indy.

I drop the bike off with all parts needed for jobs I can't do home, and he just gives me an hourly labor rate.

I enjoy the legwork

Yeah, 2 per axle and front should be the same as the back. Timken 205PP.

if you have a 2014 model, timken 205PP will work and are made in USA, check on E BAY, picked up a set for 18 bucks ea, the dealer wanted 29ea, I also ordered an extra set as I lost one in the rear last July 150mi from home. check them good every tire change. these seem like very small bearings for a bike that heavy.
