Timken Bearing in 09 SE? : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

OKC Fatboy · 08-07-2008, 09:05 PM

I know that the MoCo has released a Timken upgrade. It says it fits 08 and later bikes:

Does that mean the O9s have the Timken Bearing?

Since this is a SE upgrade part, will the 09 SEs have the Timken Bearing?

Thanks,

Bob

It's an upgrade kit to convert the straight roller bearing set up from 2003 and up to the previous bullet proof Timken double tapered bearing. Kit requires case machining with a tool HD sells you too (JIMs actually developed it). Kinda funny how HD makes the customer pay to remedy a design screw up they invented, think IDS kit for reference as only one of a few. But the Timken retrofit beats them all.

I dont see the mocco going back to factory installed timkens. It would be to much of an admission that they screwed up, which they did!

I was wondering with 110" issues if the Screaming Eagle CVO bikes would get the Timken from the outset. They tend to put their best stuff on the CVO bikes. Thinking about an 09 SEFLHCUI, but not convinced I want to shell out the cash as I have an 07 thats never given me a problem.
