Correct SKF Bearing P/N

[matt87951]

Can someone help me out with the SKF Bearing P/N that I should be ordering for both Front and Rear on my 2005 Buell XB9R?

Here is what I've found on the forum so far that has been consistent:

Rear: SKF 6006-2RS
Front: SKF 6005-2RS

In a lot of the other posts there will be a different ending on the bearing number. Do those extra numbers matter, or what if anything is different with the extra numbers in the P/N?

Several have mentioned to get them from Napa, but they don't seem to have them listed online. I will call them shortly to see if they have them or not, once I verify the P/N's I will need. I have read to go to an industrial bearing supply company as well. I don't know of anything in my area, but a quick search in the phone book will verify. Sounds like the going rate is about $10/EA for rear, and $8/EA for front?

Thanks in advance!

Those numbers are correct. I work at a parts store and checked them out, all of the extra numbers people talk about are on the bearing itself, but not in the stock number of the part.

Thought I'd add a photo of the bearings to help others in the future. Thanks again for the help!

Am I correct in assuming the part number for the 03 xb9r will also fit an 08 1125r?
