I have a 1981 HD FLT tour glide with cast wheels and need the following:
front and rear bearings with races and seals. Can't seem to find them anywhere. HD Dealers want over $200. Already have over $2k invested in restoration. Anyone know we're I can find. Tried Ebay no luck.
Thanks

Tony, I also live in the UK and have owned Harleys since the '70s. Those tapered roller wheel bearings were the same as a Ford car of some sort (don't recall). Find a local bearing stockist and take one of your bearings and an oil seal in. They are stock items made by many brands and used for all manner of applications, so should be widely available. Don't tell them they are for a Harley. as they may switch off!
I am knot quite sure how all the sites work or were to type but some one mite read it iv got the tilers now but need the needle one with the Bering bit it runs on iv seen one in the USA but they cost more to post then to by on a bit of a looser 1981 FLT rear wheel bearings

Tony, for part numbers refer to Ronnies parts website, where you can see exploded diagrams for your bike and quote us correct part numbers. What manual are you using? Also which Norfolk do you live in, the original or a later one?!
