Wheel Bearings

Just had my wifes RKing wheels chromed and need to replace the wheel bearings, Harley in Canada wants your first born and your left one for a bearing. Have also heard the HD (NBR) bearings aren't the best quality.
Having a hard time finding a part number for a good quality bearing like a Timken? anyone have any advice. Thanks

What year bike? Makes a difference if you're talking sealed bearings or not.

If you are not ready to give up your first born just yet, you could try Ebay - available in all sizes and types.

Zannydo, I dont know what yr. HD you have but I bought sealed bearing for
my 97 RK. But you know the best laid plans of mice and men, sold the 97.
I paid $150 for both (F&R)and would like to get half of my money back!

I agree with the 150 been there done that. I very seriously doubt you will find a timken or any other kind of replacement bearing. It is more than likely a captive part that was only made for HD.

According to the bearing saleman for our company these are propritery bearings and he can't get them. I think they were like 30 bucks apiece at the local dealer. Jireh cycles has them for about six bucks a piece.
