Rear Fork and Pulley

Just wondering if anyone has seen rear fork bearings like this before?
41,000 miles on the bike.

Also, any comments on if the pulley should be replaced or not? The belt is still in great shape.

Thanks

Do you mean it's common for these bearings to rip apart?
On good U.S. highways!
What kind of mileage on the others?

No, I thought you were referring to the style (heim) insetad of roller. I'm not real familiar with Softails, and thought the sticking out piece was a torn rubber seal.

No man, these are steel bearings ripping apart from a beating from the trails. No wonder my back is stiff in the mornings. LOL
