This company still makes/sells the bearing conversion kits.

I have spoken with him recently about converting the EGlide over so I know the kits are still available.

Let me know how that pans out. Those part numbers are the same as the Drag numbers. Unless they happen to have stock in their warehouse, I doubt they'll be able to get them for you.

My buddy put sealed bearing in his 1991 chop, he got them from the local machine supply shop. Had to double them up as they are narrower.
They had to do a lot of cross referencing. But it can be done.
