All Balls Racing High-Performance Wheel Bearing Kit for Harley-Davidson (1973–1999)

Restore the smooth-rolling performance of your classic V-Twin with the All Balls Racing Front / Rear Wheel Bearing Kit. Specifically engineered for 1973–1999 Harley-Davidson models, this kit is a vital component for any Harley-Davidson maintenance routine. This era utilized the reliable 3/4-inch axle platform across nearly all families, from the rugged Shovelhead to the iconic Evolution engines. All Balls Racing provides a “better-than-stock” solution that eliminates wheel play and harmonic vibrations, ensuring your Softail, Dyna, or Bagger handles with precision and safety.

Premium EMQ Bearing Technology

All Balls Racing utilizes Electric Motor Quality (EMQ) high-speed bearings in this kit. These bearings are manufactured to much tighter tolerances than standard industrial bearings, resulting in significantly lower internal friction and cooler operating temperatures. This is a critical Stage 1 chassis upgrade for older motorcycles where worn factory bearings can lead to dangerous wheel wobble. Each bearing is pre-packed with Chevron SR1-2 grease, a high-performance lubricant containing rust and oxidation inhibitors that maintain consistency even under the heavy loads of a fully dressed Electra Glide.

Triple-Lip Seal for Maximum Protection

The primary cause of Harley wheel bearing failure is the intrusion of environmental contaminants. This kit features triple-lip rubber seals designed to create a watertight barrier that outperforms original equipment shields. This low-drag sealing technology keeps vital lubrication trapped inside the bearing races while effectively locking out road salt, grime, and water. Whether you are riding through a summer storm or cleaning your bike with a pressure washer, these performance wheel bearings are shielded against the corrosion and “pitting” that lead to mechanical failure.

Universal Fitment for 3/4-Inch Axles

This kit is designed for a precision fit on the vast majority of Harley-Davidson models from the mid-70s through the late-90s. Confirmed fitment for 3/4-inch axles includes:

• Sportster Series: XL models (1973–1999).
• Softail Series: Fat Boy, Heritage, and Custom (1984–1999).
• Dyna Series: Low Rider, Wide Glide, and Super Glide (1991–1999).
• Touring Series: Road King, Electra Glide, and Tour Glide (1984–1999).

Installation and Safety Tips

Replacing vintage Harley wheel bearings requires a bearing puller and installer to ensure the races are seated perfectly square in the hub. We recommend inspecting these bearings every 10,000 miles or during every tire change to ensure your chassis remains in peak condition. Always use a calibrated torque wrench on your axle nut to the factory-specified foot-pounds to avoid over-compressing the bearings, which can lead to premature wear.
