About This Product
This main and countershaft bearing from Eastern MC Parts is a critical component for 5-speed Sportster transmissions from 2004 to 2005. Replacing OEM number 8968, this bearing is built to the exacting standards required for reliable gearbox operation. When you are inside a Sportster case, you want to use parts that can stand up to the abuse of daily riding. This bearing ensures smooth rotation of the shafts, preventing the kind of friction that leads to premature gear wear. It is sold individually and is a must-have for any mechanic performing a transmission overhaul on these specific mid-2000s Sportster models.
