Good idea to go ahead and change it while you have the wheel off anyways , mine went out at 38k.We also changed the isolator rubbers as they were also showing a lot of wear, they are only $3.50 each for a total of $21.00 and all the labor is just in removing the wheel, I think I will change mine from now on every other tire change. They are part # 40278-08

But why would they be installing bearings on new bikes?

I could see if the OP had a wheel change done or installed IDS on an '07, but his bike was bought new in '08.

I had the exact thing happen on my 08 Streetglide.Harley Davidson of Greenville,SC was changing my back tire(14,000 miles) and caught the bearing problem.It only took a day to get the bearing in but I had no way home.They were nice enough to loan me a bike,at no charge,to help me out.They get two thumbs up from me!!

After market IDS kits were available immediately following the 5th gear problem with the 07's. No 07's have factory installed IDS - all are either moco (kits) or after market variety (kits). If I owned an 07, I'd definitely be pulling the rear wheel and checking that bearing - users were req'd to press fit it themselves.
