Swingarm bearings

Does any know the industry number for the swingarm bearings - Harley 47521-52 Bearing, rear fork. And best place to buy?

Here's a funny one. The steering head cups and bearing retainers are the same 1952-1969. Up through 1959, they didn't specify a quantity. In the 1963 and 1965 parts catalogs, they say quantity 30. In the 1967 catalog, they say quantity 28. What gives here?

When I pulled the front end off my 1962 XLCH, there were 14 top and bottom, and some extra space. No, I didn't drop any. But maybe the previous owner did. How many is just right?

IMO, the book is a typo. There should be 15 top and bottom. The book you refer to says 28 but 30 are pictured.
