maybe this will work?

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Timke n-1-in-straight-trailer-wheel-bearing-kit-with-sea l-7781S-cotter-pin-grease-pack-and-2-SET14-each-se t-contains-cone-L44643-and-cup-L44610/_/N-25hk?cou nter=0&filterByKeyWord=l44643&fromString=search&it emIdentifier=12286_0_0_

I have brand new timken bearings from American Sportbike here with the part numbers L44610(race) and L44643(bearing)
and the above from Autozone lists the same parts.

The bearing numbers you have are for all the tubers (steering head and swingarm)
and any bearing supplier have them in stock or can order them for you!

don't know about h-d

Yes, those are the same for the swingarm
I just got them for my new arm at a local bearing place - 25 bucks for two bearings and races
cheaper than HD and American Sport Bike and youre keeping your money local

I'd rather give my business to American Sport Bike. They're a resource I don't want to see go away.

id rather give my money to american sportbike as well but their shipping costs are high and it takes me 7 days to get parts when all i need at this time are 2 bearings. I just recently spent a bunch of money with Al and plan on more in the future.

Nice find Purpony. I was just about to post up asking for the bearing number for a cheaper supplier. About to need these for my new swing arm.

Hoot - I, also, dont want to see A S B go away, they are a great resource.
But I also dont want to see local jobs and businesses go away.
I spend money with A S B, local retailers, local HD dealers etc

As much as I like A S B, and I know they are in business to make money, I cant justify spending more money on the product, then shipping, and then waiting a few days for certain parts.
At least for me, 25 sure beats 31 + shipping + waiting
