THANK YOU. This just worked for my 2009 Fat Bob. Knocked out both races / cups in less than 20 minutes!

Works!! This made me look like a genius. 2012 Glide. Took 5 minutes for upper and lower. Would’ve been quicker but I stopped for a beer in between.

This worked on my 2012 Sportster. I just used the screwdriver and a long 1/2" socket extension as a hammer. Only took about 10 minutes. Original bearings so 10 years old, but only 10,000 miles so I was surprised to find lower bearing rusted and very little evidence of grease. Thanks!

Nice tip bud. I usually weld a bead around the bearing surface of the race and it shrinks enough to pull out with your fingers

Unfortunately I can no longer operate a welder due to some health issues. I miss it man, it was always nice having one in the shop. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how much time it saved and how many stubborn projects became really easy with a little ingenuity and time.

Thanks man. Doing mine right now. Damn bottom race was shot. Had notches everywhere a bearing sat. Like you said. I ride all the time an when it started getting squirrely on me at 50 mph I knew something was up. Death wobble is no joke especially when you ride with the apes.

You didn't really need to do that flat head screwdriver trick. you could have just put a good quality drift punch directly underneath the bearing race, insert it from the other end of the "hollow neck" head tube. I've never seen one that wasn't hollow, you'd never fit the lower triple's steering stem through if it wasn't hollow! No clue what hollow part youre otherwise referencing.

Chuck L None of the drifts in my toolbox would seat properly as the race fits into the flange so well. I needed something to get a little more purchase on the edge of the race so I opted for this method. I guess what I was getting at with the “hollow” style neck, is that my understanding of the touring bikes vs the dynas is the flared portion at the top and bottom of the neck itself. As I understand it, the tourers have a neck that maintains the same diameter throughout the neck eliminating the need for hokey shit like this when it comes time to swap em over. My old Yamaha had a similar setup to the dyna, but the area between the bearings was a snug fit allowing the bearings and stem to be greased as a unit whereas if one were to try to grease this wide opening it would end up everywhere. Just trying to show folks there are many ways to skin a cat.🤷♂️
