Does anyone know of any aftermarket bearing company that will make wheel bearings for the buell. I don't want to wait on shipping, and theres not a Buell dealer close to me.

Take it to a bearing supply co. and they can probably fix you up.

Shipping is a day in-state, a couple days from American Sport Bike or one of the dealer/sponsors here.

Otherwise if you wanted to risk it, you can get the measurements (diameters and depths) and go to a bearing specialty house (out here it's Motion Industries near to me)

I'd stick with the direct replacements since they're easy to be had with a phone call.

There happened to be a local Fastenal dealer near me that could supply me with Buell wheel bearings, fast and inexpensive.

Photos and update to why I had to replace mine. Don't overtorque the front axle.

I had them removed this morning and found out they are 6005s, went to a bearing shop nearby and got some new bearings.

Also found out my Spacer was too short in-between, and thats probably why my "updated orange" bearings went out with only 6k miles on the bike. (i bought it used, so i don't know how many miles are actually on the updated bearings.)


Thanks for the reply though T9r!

Fastenal is a CANDY STORE out here!

I didn't think of them as a bearing house (so much better then) - one thing, you can get the true high temperature self-locking exhaust stud nuts there... but you'll pay like $12 for a hundred of them but you'll score points with your buddies when you hand them 4 and tell them they're FREE to a fellow Buell nut.

I can't go within a couple miles of Fastenal with a credit card or cash!

Tools, hardware... bad when combined with my money!
