I have a 85 wideglide 21" front end and have a 2002 21" rim with alum center I would like to change and use. The axle size is the same but my speedo drive will not fit into the alum rim bearing. The one on my 85 is recessed to accept the speedo drive. Is there a bearing I can buy or has anyone done this, is there a solution? any help ?? THANKS To ALL Dallas

from my experience it's more than just a bearing or spacer its the way the axle is set up and centered. If it isn't the right one for your installation you're just going to waste your time. Over the years the sizes changed and you have to get the right year for it to work.
You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....
