I am polishing my swingarm while I am waiting for the new belt and isolators to come in.

The bearings and races are in good shape but I need new seals.

These look pretty generic but I do not see any numbers on them that would help me source them locally. Suggestions?

Is there a HD version of 47584-94Y (Buell seal pn)?

The HD dealer is much closer than the nearest Buell dealer....


Thanks

Your HD dealer should be able to order the Buell PN, they're all in the parts download for the computer systems.

Thanks, but I wouldn't order parts anyway.

To many cases of mis-ordered, back ordered and non-ordered parts.

I am hoping to find them on the shelf locally, otherwise I will buy them from one of the fine sponsors here who has them on the shelf.

HD shops can ONLY buy Buell parts if they are a Buell dealer. Even if the parts cary an HD number...

Go with the Sponsers here. I've had great service from Colin at Hal's.

I don't know about the cast aluminum swingarm seals, but the seals for the steel swingarms can be purchased at nearly any auto parts store.

The seals have a p/n stamped in them. I just took mine in to O'Reilly's and picked up the exact replacements. Only cost a little over $2 each!

they probably are the same 99, and the auto store equivalent is what I was hoping for, but for some reason I don't have any numbers stamped on mine?

Greg are there any numbers on the ones you're holding?

OK...here's the numbers and dimensions for the seal used on the steel swingarm bikes. You can compare it to yours.

The National Seal part number is 443018.

The dimensions are:
Seal ID: 1.500"
Bore Dia: 1.984"
Seal Width: 0.188"

So you have the same swingarm as me.
From the parts catalogue:
page#51/52 items#31&29 respectively
P/N 48430-99y dust seal (you need at least 2)
P/N 48300 roller bearing w/cup for two


A decent outer bearing race driver,a
seal puller(fancy tool with a hook to pull seals).The seal tool is at any auto parts store at about $5.

I measured my seals and they are the same dimensions as the steel swingarm seals.

Thanks for posting the dimensions.
