Default 08+ Mags on 2007 FXDB, Bearings ?

Hey everyone , I’ve searched and searched and I can’t find the answer.

I have a 2007 FXDB which uses 1 inch axles , picked up a set of FXDLS Mags, I can’t figure out the bearings.

Which bearings and spacers do I need to get the front and rear wheel mounted up properly using the 1 inch axles ?

Any help would be appreciated , thank you !!

Hey man , hope you can help me out !! I have a 2007 fxdb with 1 inch axles , I’m trying to get my fxdls rear mag mounted on the bike and need the correct bearings , I just want to verify that , if I use the 1x52x15 bearings with the 25mm crush tube , can I just reuse my existing wheel spacers for the rear wheel ?! It’s so confusing ! Thank you so much , I have the front mounted already but I don’t think it’s lined up right , what would be the proper way for the front while retaining the 1 inch axles also ?
If you're using aftermarket "1x52x15 bearings"...

Front: Use the 08-later Center Spacer Sleeve (what you call crush tube) and 08-later R&L spacers

Rear: The way the width Measurements Spec out between the 1" and 25mm parts in their respective applications, they are only approx .030-.035" different ... So most people (not me) just use the "1x52x15 bearings" and are done with it and it "works". Since it's easy for me to make spacers, I would just make a slightly wider Right Spacer (between bearing and Caliper bracket)


Make Sure you install the First Bearing on the correct side ... Left Front (should be the Shallow Bore depth side and IIRC it has the "DOT" markings on that side also) and Right Rear (brake rotor side)
