Are the wheel bearings a needle bearing type or a bushing style on these bikes.

Sealed ball bearings.  Harley changed to a 25mm (from a 1") I.D. bearing on Softails for 2007 and Touring models for 2008.  The bearings were also made significantly narrower.  Since that time the reports of premature bearing failures have increased.

So this is the one redeeming feature of an 07 SEUC!  1" ID wheel bearings, significantly wider than 08 and up wheel bearings!!   :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

They were probably a nickel cheaper to buy for HD.  Those nickels add up to some big bonus...
