Your front and rear wheel bearings are the same, H-D PN 9247 and there is nothing wrong with the OEM bearings. However, if you want to replace them with an aftermarket bearing, pull one of the bearings and take it to a local bearing supply house for a cross match to aftermarket bearings. Just be sure to get the same quality of the OEM bearing which is a roller with contact seals vic a non contact seal on both sides of the bearing.

The bearing dimensions are 1"ID x 52mm OD x 21MM Width. Good luck in finding a made in the USA replacement but you can try SKF 6105-RS1 which is a common replacement or HDAB1-C14A which is another common replacement. Not sure of the country of origin of either but don't believe either is made in the USA; probably, Japan, China or Korea. If you want to save some $$ aftermarket is the way to go but, like I said, the OEM wheel bearings for the early models are decent bearings. The wheel bearing issues didn't start until '08 when the axle diameter changed to 25mm.
