These bearings are now US$600+ each? Wow, so over US$1,200 for the pair.

This will be the thread that never dies… Where did you guys source these bearings from? I’ve searched and haven’t found any online. 123Bearing has the part # but shows a spherical heim style bearing, and I thought the original post was about getting away from the spherical design and back to a solid bearing to reduce flex.

It was a long thread to go through, did I misunderstand?

This is great news! First we had the thread about bagger wobble exposed, and now finally, we have a thread about bagger wobble solved.

Finally I know how to deal with it if it ever happens on my 07 FLHT. I thought I had it last season, but it turns out it was tar snakes on that particular stretch of road.

Disregard, I read through it all again and now understand the spherical bearing was used due to the sloppy machining of the swingarm by harley. The heim style sphere allows the bearing to align over a common shaft. Now if I could find the damned things to buy for my swingarm that's sitting on the garage floor... This conversion chart will help anyone looking at swingarm bearings.
