Replacement Parts

As early as 1898, five years before the first Harley-Davidson, carriage builder Henry Timken was granted the patent for tapered roller bearings. Under his name, these bearings are known throughout the English-speaking world; used in pairs, they can absorb both axial and radial forces. On Harley-Davidson Twins, these bearings were used for the rear swingarm from 1958 to 1986 and as wheel bearings from 1973 to 1999.

Wheel bearing spacers and adjustment shims for hubs 1973-1999. The later spacers and shims 1982→ can also be used on earlier hubs in case you cannot achieve satisfactory results with the stock components.
