I can not find anyone who can order this bearing. Ordered upgrade bearing from harley,got the original style ina. I have gone to several auto stores, nothing. They either don't have a book to look in or B 138 comes up as some larger type sealed bearing. At this point I am going to use the Original style,the old one went 100k and only showed minor wear. Where do you guys buy these things.Are the newer ina bearings better.

Check out one of the Industrial Bearing suppliers. They can get those bearings and at a much less cost.

99, email me your mailing addy.
I can drop one (a Torrington B-138) in the mail in the morning.

Considering a power upgrade?
First and foremost, focus on your tuning plan.

Forget the bullsh!t - it's all about two wheels and a motor!

Torington b-138 cam bearing can be purchased from any bearing supply store. I've even seen them on e-bay.

I just got two from NOS.

I ordered an oem and an aftermarket and both came as the Torrington B138.

when i ordered my last inner cam bearing from the dealer, instead of having Torrington stamped on the lip like the ones i've seen here, it just had
Torr stampedd on the lip. am i correct in assuming that they are the same company?

J&P also carries them. Buy 2 or 3 for spares. I keep at least 1 spare around
