Drag Specialties Chrome Rear Axle Kit For Harley Touring 1984-1999

Drag Specialties Chrome Rear Axle Kit: High-Strength Style for 1984–1999 Harley Touring

Restore the structural integrity and visual appeal of your Evolution-powered Bagger with the Drag Specialties Chrome Rear Axle Kit. Specifically engineered for 1984–1999 Harley-Davidson Touring models, this kit is an essential Harley-Davidson maintenance and restoration part. As the primary support for your rear wheel assembly, the axle must withstand the immense torque and heavy loads associated with long-distance touring. Drag Specialties provides a high-carbon steel solution that ensures your Road King or Electra Glide remains stable, aligned, and ready for the open road.

Show-Quality Mirror Chrome Finish

For riders who take pride in the details of their classic Bagger, this Harley Touring rear axle features a premium, triple-plated chrome finish. Unlike standard zinc-plated hardware that can dull, pit, or corrode over time, the Drag Specialties chrome coating offers superior resistance to road salt and moisture. It is the perfect Stage 1 styling upgrade for owners looking to replace weathered factory hardware with a component that adds a custom, polished look to the swingarm and rear wheel area.

Precision Machined for Reliability

Reliability is paramount when you are miles from home. The Drag Specialties axle is precision-machined from high-tensile steel to ensure perfect concentricity and a flawless 3/4-inch diameter. This heavy-duty construction prevents the axle from bowing under the weight of a fully loaded touring bike or the high-torque pulses of a modified Evolution 80″ engine. By providing a smooth, consistent surface for your wheel bearings, this axle kit helps eliminate rear-end harmonic vibrations and ensures your wheel spins with minimal friction.

Complete Installation Hardware Kit

This Drag Specialties axle assembly is designed as a comprehensive, “all-in-one” replacement solution. Every kit includes the 3/4″ diameter axle along with matching chrome nuts and washers. This eliminates the need to reuse old, stressed, or stripped factory hardware, ensuring that your rear wheel alignment is secured with fresh, high-tensile threads. It serves as a direct replacement for OEM part number 41110-79A, offering a “bolt-on” fit that requires no custom modifications to your swingarm.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

When installing a new chrome rear axle, it is the ideal time to inspect your wheel bearings and drive belt for wear. We recommend applying a light coating of high-temperature anti-seize to the axle shaft to prevent future binding and ensure easy removal during tire changes. Always use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the axle nut to the factory-specified foot-pounds to maintain proper drive belt tension and prevent premature bearing failure.
