The tendency of the stock inner primary bearing race on late model big twins to shift on the transmission mainshaft under high torque loads, also known as “walking” of the race, can cause destruction of the transmission mainshaft seal, and ultimately the mainshaft seal, output gear and output gear bearing. The S&S inner primary bearing race features an extra step on the inside diameter that acts as a stop on the transmission mainshaft. When the race is pressed on to the shaft, the step will not allow the race to move inward toward the mainshaft seal. The improved S&S bearing race is a must for any high performance application.
