Why Upgrading with Genuine Big Dog Motorcycle Parts Matters

• Factory‑certified fitment – Designed to the exact specifications of Big Dog’s 1999–present frames, ensuring hassle‑free installation and accurate alignment.
• Durability you can depend on – High‑grade steel and hardened races withstand the rigors of long-distance cruising and show‑grade polish maintenance.
• Ride comfort & control – Properly matched bearings eliminate play and binding, providing intuitive steering response.

Who Needs This Set?

This bearing and race kit is compatible with all Big Dog motorcycles manufactured from 1999 to present, including the K-9, Mastiff, Pitbull, Ridgeback, and more. Whether you’re riding a baseline stock chassis or a fully loaded custom build, steering health relies on fresh, accurate steering cups and races.

Installation Tips & Maintenance Advice

1. Inspection first: Remove your front wheel and triple clamp to inspect the old bearings. Look for pitting, rust, or resistance when turning.
2. Support the headstock: Use a press or gently tap out old bearings with soft drift tools. Avoid brass or aluminum tubes to prevent distortion.
3. Grease the race: A high‑temp marine or motorcycle-grade bearing grease helps smooth function and seals against water intrusion.
4. Seat evenly: Press new cups until they’re flush, and spin the bearing in the cup to evenly distribute grease and correctly position the top race.
5. Torque check: Reinstall fork, wheel, and tighten to Big Dog’s torque specs. Check for any pull, play, or tight spots by turning the bars fully both directions.
6. Recheck after ride: After 50 miles, revisit the top nut to ensure proper preload—and every year during your standard steering system inspection.
