Timken part # needed.
I'm going to R&R my front wheel bearings Sat. I wondered if anyone has the Timken part # for the front wheel bearings. That way I can just swap them out, otherwise I'll need to take the old bearings out and go to a Timken distributor and have them match the old ones.

narrower - 15mm - than earlier bearings and was experiencing failures on '07 to '09
models using it. Most of the time it was a quality issue - very little grease in them.
PM uses that size bearing in their custom wheels but stacks two on the pulley side
of the rear wheel for extra strength. PM uses japanese bearings from Fujikoshi - top
of the line - and that's where I got mine. FWIW - no longer have my custom bar
hopper and have six new bearings in sealed boxes and will let go cheap. PM if interested.

I have heard this asked more than a dozen times and I still do not think I have seen a Timkin part number. Hasn't anybody bought Timkins and know the P/N. Even a ***, SKF or anything not HD that could be crossed to Timkin. I prefer the SKF myself but it is a ball bearing and there are or used to be some pretty high tarrifs on imported ball bearings. And SKF wouldn't sell them here in the US.

LWB sorry $65.00 is a little steep for me. Not that there not worth it I was a buyer for an OEM before I retired and can get Timkkins for about $6.00-$8.00 each if I can get the P/N's. Job was the worst thing that ever happened to me because I know what the real cost of almost everything sold retail is. Usally about 1/3 or less than the retail price. Kills me to buy from the middle middle man. (yes thats two middles). If I don't get min 20% I almost never buy it.

I work for Timken and have for the last 35 years. I don't know the part number right off but I'll see if can find out. If it is a taperd roller bearing then it is a true Timken bearing and tapers are far suppior to ball bearings in a wheel application. If it is a ball bearing then it is made at one ot the Torrington plants Timken purchased about 8 years ago. I'll see if I can get you a part number but can't promise anything.

I have a 2007 RK and went to two industrial bearing suppliers and they could not match the factory bearings to a Timken or any other supplier but an off shore bearing. I bought them and had two failures, one on each wheel within 1800 miles. I now have HD bearings back in the bike.
