Well never take the price of a simple sealed wheel bearing for granted. I carefully planned the pricing and timing (so I thought) of getting my 9 spoke wheels chromed, new floating rotors, Lyndall pads and Metzeler tires ordered and shipped for my 04' Ultra. I didn't bother with shopping online for new bearings because I figured they aren't that expensive and I can just snag a couple pair at the dealer. Believe it or not HD wants 29.00 PER bearing! Over a 130.00 to replace all four. Jeezus! Errr.......I don't think so.
The HD bearing # is 9247 for front and rear. I crossed some over and found that Drag carries them and can be had through Dennis Kirk for 28.00 per pair. JP Cycles has them for 14.99 but was out of stock. But the absolute best buy was that I found them in Custom Chrome. I ran the number through the website from the good folks at MandM Cycles and it came up as a direct replacement for the HD #9247 and cost only 10.87 each!!
I guess the moral is don't even take the small stuff for granted. Shop around!
