i think the problem is the hooligan was an option that was not taken very often. so, your knowledge base is limited. good luck.

I picked up the rear of the bike today while cleaning it. When I was polishing the rear wheel I heard it clunk. I can move it enough to replicate the clunk. Since it has 20k miles I figure it is the bearings. So I would like to confirm, the 3 Timken/Fafnir 205KDD2 bearing will fit the rear of my 04 chopper? Also, why did BD use bearings that need to be serviced every 10k when there is superior products out there. I replaced the bearings on my Harley at 120k just because I has going on a long trip and there didn't seem to be any thing wrong with the old ones. Thanks

When I priced these the Timken dealer in phx told me these are chinese bearings and have been made off sizes so that you have to buy their bearings. this was for the front only
Also I had my wheel bearings checked at 10k and at 20k and 2 different shops said they were fine. Both said they used a stethoscope and did a visual inspection too. I had the front changedat 20k but the shop said that timken number wouldnt work for the rear. have any of you guys actually put that number in?

6205-1-2RS german SKF Bearings for rear wheel: My Story
Hello BIGDOG's. Last week I got myself in my tires Discount RC in Simbach am Inn (tel. +49 8571 8594) a new Avon 300/35 R18 87V TLAV72 Cobra mount for 240 bugs. It has established the Helmut professional installation that my 3 ball bearings Timken 6205-1-2RS with the interior dimensions: 25.4 mm, external: 52mm Width: 15mm were defective. After opening the seal, we have cleaned up the camp and found that all three ball bearing raceway of the ball was damaged. My bike has 9000 mile run, but only once. My research has shown that American Timken 6205-1-2RS (http://www.kullager.se/sv/product/344/Kullager-6205-1-2RS-25-4x52x15) is an absolute cheap junk/fuck from China. Such bearings are inferior in Germany is not even installed in wheelbarrows. Unfortunately, we were at the German bearing manufacturer SKF buy no matching stock. But Helmut was a great idea. We bought the German 6205-2RS SKF bearings with inner dimensions: 25mm x 52mm x 15mm and have them in the inner diameter of 25.4 mm (1 ") by a special expert (from factory Max Gantner +49 8571 2220) with a diamond turning tool expands (Price 50, - Euro per all 3). Since that time I drive in my rear axle 3 German SKF bearings. The ride and handling of my BIGDOG K9 has changed to positive. Beat at high speed the steering is now completely gone. Now my K9 runs better than new. Best regards from a german BIGDOG
