Well sitting at a light and the bike starts growling like a bearing is going out, I was hoping the clutch hub nut was loose but looks deeper than that. I'll ask the guy that did my motor to check output shaft bearings if he can. Clutch hub showing some wear but not bad for a belt drive thats been on...

Yes its a softail, also it runs the 111 S&S motor which is supposed to be smoother but it also has a rubber mounted engine which has got to be nice. But you are looking at 40K with even a basic paint job.

It all worked great, went with a double bearing on the brake side and now have a 4 bearing system. I only got about 2500 miles on it since the remake but so far its all good.

Sorry for your loss, I have been down this road myself, the addiction is a disease of the mind and body so the only thing you can ever do is pray for them which you have done. Hopefully your family can find some peace through all this. Ride on, Ride on.

The correct bearing you need is a 6205 RS-16 and you can buy the cheap jap bearings for about $8.00 each or the american made Timken-Fafnir bearing for about $22.00 each. You need 3 bearings for the rear wheel. Bearing services sells both. Just make sure they don't try to sell you a 6205 RS bearing ...

Well I am having a new hub made but I am changing the design to accommodate 2 bearings on that side to match it like the other. This way I'll have 4 bearings total. The guy wanted to remake both my hubs and use a tapered Timken bearing setup which would be a good idea but I want to ride already.
