Had someone do my axle bearings and swapped the plates to DK recently . Bike at 27,400 miles . We found sand and dirt in the axles and bearings as well as rust and proof of water intrusion . All parts were still serviceable but the old plates were worn from the bearings and or flexing . Bearings replaced and new DK plates with o ring installed . Tech was happy with DK quality and my decision to replace . Money well spent as I push my TriGlide pretty hard!
Also , the first set of new bearings I ordered at the HD dealership were the right part number in the right part package but the wrong size bearings . I took the old ones to a local bearing dealer and got the right ones.
