I have just replaced the clutch ramp bearing (H-d # 8885) on the 4th Sportster that my friends have.

The stock bearing is a POS!!!!

Anyone know of an aftermarket bearing, or maybe an American made bearing that fits?

 

Yes! The OEM one is junk in that application.

You want a 7200B angular contact bearing to replace it. Refer to THIS THREAD over at XLF for better instructions. You'll see they already figured out exactly what you have a problem with.

 

OK.......I'll bite.....Exactly where can I get this bearing?

The XL link does not say where to get it, just the orientation.

 

Amazon is where most get them. You can also get them through most big parts warehouses.
