I have a 2003xb9s. From what I have read the bearings i need are...

6006-2rs and 6005-2rs

What I am confused about is the sizing. After the part number i see for example 30 x 55 x 13. Do i need those three numbers to be a specific size and if so what size? Im replacing front and rear btw. Thanks guys!
 
I don't know the measurments but you only need the give the parts guy the reference of the bearings you want, two 6006 2rs and two 6005 2rs, make sure it's a good brand like SKF
 
I just changed mine & used those same numbers. I called my local bearing supply company, gave them this numbers & picked em up 10 minutes later. They fit like a charm. My only issue was I needed the bearing pulled from the Harley shop. Fortunately I know one of the techs & he pulled em & installed the new ones for a case of beer. If you find a way to pull em without that tool, please let me know cause those things wasn't coming out no way no how without it. The bearing ID is much larger than than bearings for other bikes so the tool from the Harley shop was my only choice. Good luck man!
 
Thanks guys . I was going to try the harbor freight pulling tool. Damn shop wants 50 bucks per wheel to remove bearings!! And 50 bucks for reinstall on each wheel
