I will be replacing my drive belt this year. 2002 fxd with overt 98,000 miles. while I have things apart I think I will replace the swingarm bearings. should I use the OEM bearings from harley or is there anything better. 2002 fxd with hippo motor.  95 inch, screaming eagle heads, s&s 570 gear drive cams

New spacer,bushing, bearings & races from HD should get you another 15-20 years. I'd prolly do new motor mounts at the same time.
Ignorance is bliss, and accuracy expensive. How much of either can you afford?

Didn't add any comment on that last post because I usually can't post pictures and was experimenting. That mount is from Custom Cycle Engineering, I put one on my 03 FXD and like it. Well made heavy duty and helps with vibration. The stock top mount is solid where the other two are rubber. I was going to change my swing arm bushing too but found them still tight, but you have twice the mileage I do.
