Trailered the bike to the stealer today when the rear wheel was removed half the ball bearings were missing the bearing outside casing seperated and spun in the rear wheel chewing up wheel hub bearing mount boss, long story short new wheel, bearings, brake rotor & pads have to be replaced glad I'm stll covered under warranty what sucks is I'm being told it'll take 7-10 days before the parts come in.

Still, even if your out of the use of the bike, You made it home, your bike is in the hospital and your not and anyone that can find the source of wierd noises coming from a Harley without being stuck on a highway somewhere in the dark of night has my vote.

Make that three. I just posted a sad (for me) story about the drive pulley bearing crapping out during the last few miles/feet of a week long ride.
Somethin ain't right.

BTW, this is an 08 Road Glide with less than 11,000 miles that I purchased late 08...
Just got home from a 1200 mile round trip. About 225 miles from home the bike started acting funny. Felt more like something in the front end at highway speeds. Got home and started checking everything out. Guess what...rear hub bearing. @009 less than 12,000 miles and never pressure washed or rear wheel off. Gonna call the stealer tomorrow.
