Need help finding Replacement bearings
Fairly simple job turned into more than anticipated. I noticed a leak at my shifter shaft and what looked like a leak behind my drive belt gear on my 2008 Ultra Classic. Once i got everything apart I noticed the leak behind belt gear was coming from the large seal behind it. Removed seal and instantly knew bearings were toast. I dont have a local Harley Dealership near me and closet one would be a 4 hour round trip so im looking to order online. My question is can anybody give me a lead on a good replacement bearing and part number or even website that carries it. I have googled and i can only find older models but none for the 6 speed transmission that come in the 08 and up model. Any help would be appreciated

You can order that from Surdyke or any number of other online Harley dealers. The bigger question is are you prepared to do the work yourself? Changing that bearing requires removing the entire internals from the transmission and requires multiple specialty tools. I know many people have done it but I wasnt prepared to take it on. My local independent quoted $1200+

I would suggest getting a service manual, then take your time and have at it a little trick I learned prior to installation of new said bearing put it in the freezer over night and it will slide right in place. Once you remove the output shaft from the existing bearing there will be a race that you need to remove from the output shaft. It is normal to destroy the existing bearing when removing the shaft.

Could have picked a better time for it to go bad ... Like maybe February in Ohio? :>) Looks like you've got it all under control ... Good luck.

Yeah I thought the same thing. I just got back from a trip to Missouri to see my boy graduate Army Basic Training and was cleaning up my bike when I noticed the leak. Once i seen bearing I knew i this couldnt wait until after riding season here in Ohio. Its been raining a lot so guess no better time then now to fix 👍🏻
