I only have about 60k on them, but it just felt a little rough to me and for $30 it makes me feel better to replace them.
Only? 30k has always been tops with me. The same with clutch cables. Clutch when it tells me so.
Motor mounts 25K. Brakes when I need 'em but no more than 60K when I'll also make a decision about timing chain; When I've had the $$ I switched to gears.
Wonder why HD stopped using gears?
60k sounds reasonable, I have seen good bearings in wheels (especially front wheels) at 100k+. 30k to me is a little early, but like Lucky said for $30 or $40 bucks (which is the most it should cost if the wheel is already off), do it if it makes you feel better.
