wheel bearing

My grandson has a 2010 road glide, he says the front wheel bearings are a straight needle roller, i say they are a tapered toward each other with the spacer between them, which is right?

Is there a newer style of updated bearing that is a better one, than the stock bearing?

you can find a Timken brand bearing at your local bearing supply house that is better quality than the oem ones. before installing pull off the seal and check if they have enough grease. I always pack them with wheel bearing grease before installing.

I strongly disagree with this.
the new HD OEMs are very good.
Allballz uses a plastic cage and not all are synthetic grease as advertised.
I called them on it and they told me to clean out the old grease and repack with synthetic.
wtf?
Bearings need to be installed correctly without side load or damage.
