    Gidday guys, tech advice needed. I am taking the inner bearing race off and getting an inner primary bearing that will run directly on the gearbox output shaft. My inner primary bearing was measured by the local bearing shop, who's first comments were, "we dont have much luck with Harley stuff" Didn't fill me with confidence. The following are the dimensions I am looking at but I need to know what inner dimension will slide onto the output shaft?

    External diameter 52mm/2.0472"

    Bearing Width 15mm/0.5905"

    Gearbox Output shaft is 1.0" I need to know what size inner will slide onto this shaft without freezing or heating anything.

    The OE bearing that runs on the inner primary race has a fair bit of play, ie very easy to slide on and off the race. 

    All advice appreciated fellas. Cheerz Burnzi

    So you want to use a one piece inner primary bearing ?
    The same as the Baker high torque IPB ?

    If so, have one here I can measure ,

    I got it from the US, but I'm sure Rollies would have them.
    Its a standard 6205z bearing but the ID is honed oversized.
    I measured around 25.12mm .
    There is also a version made by All Balls that is a double roller.
    You should find them on eBay from Birds or EasyR

    Exactly what speedzter said burnzie the bearing is the same as the later wheel bearing but slightly honed out I went
    Though this about a year ago bearing shop couldn't match one up at the time I went in I ended getting one from
    Easy r And seeing I wasn't running a open primary I flipped the bearing covers out so it just got oil splash the same as
    The Oem one would do
