Thanks Harded; Being that my wife and inlaws are all from Canton, OH I want Timken Bearings. If nobody comes up with the part # I'll post it when I cross my OEM ones over.

Good Luck, If you come up with a timken cross over for the one inch bearings, please do post. Bearing houses here could not do it.

You're wrong there. The two biggy suppliers here couldn't do it.

You're correct - sealed deep groove ball bearings FWIW.

Timkin bought Torrington (see this thread Harderd) 8 years ago. Torrington is ball bearings.
According to Ronnies HD microfiche the 07 Ultras (and a bunch of others) started using the 25 mm bearing. From what I can put together this is a single row sealed ball bearing. Too many models to check them all and microfiches have been wrong before a few times.
Somewhere aroung 2000 they went from the tapered roller bearing that my 1979 shovel head has to a two row sealed ball bearing.
Personally I think the double row ball bearing would be the ****. The tapered roller was way over engineered and you had to pack it. I could be way off on that opinion because I haven't heard much about problems with them. That might be a good thing.
I believe most of these ball bearing changes were due to anti dumping laws but Harderd probably knows more about that.
I guess the only way to find out for sure is pull my wheel and the bearing and look at it.
BrianG your link is for tapered bearings. And I don't have the exact HD dimensions until I pull my wheel and bearing.
Good Night

I had to settle for std. HD parts. Now that I have the OEM bearings out I'm going to send them to my sons Father inlaw. He works at Timken in Canton we'll see if there is a real Timken part # . If I do get one I'll post it on the board.

HD Wheel bearings
looking in the $6 - $8 dollar range for quality bearings. When he finds them I hope
he lets all of us know.
