    I'm not a Harley guy but as soon as you said 'top hat spacer', I knew exactly what you meant. I think it's a universally recognised term. Very interesting to see they use tapered bearings for wheels!

    Vulcan engineering makes some pretty nice sealed bearing conversion kits for front and rear.FXR division sells them🤝

    Dangerous! Pish Tosh! Danger is your middle name! Good video Jay. I like seeing the comments where people are saying these videos are helping them with their FXRT. That’s what it’s about!

      Wild and dangerous in the garage lol! I'm glad you saw that too! The videos are helping and that's the best part of doing it. Seeing it helps one person makes the effort to keep going. 👊

    I just did my bearings on my 87 fxrs and I bought the tinker seal bearing kit from fxr Division so you don’t have to deal with any end play of any geeace packing so much better

      I need to look into that, that seems like the better way to go!

    My 90 has no shims if that helps. It's like that from the factory

    Put spacer in the lathe & take .004 off & I'll bet you will be at .006 !
