New Coastal Moto Wheel?
#22
As with most aftermarket wheel companies the stock bearing does not fit in our bearing bore (except the abs bearing). However, we have never had any issues with bearing failure.
The majority of the time bearing failures can be attributed to improper assembly from the manufacturer and also the crush sleeve (center spacer) cut the wrong length.

So let say I buy a set of your wheels, get them installed properly by some qualified mechanic who does this for a living and who has installed 2 billion wheels and bearings on motorcycles. I'm getting ready for trip, I walk around my bike do my safety inspection, everything checks out good. I leave on a 600 mile trip see to my mom, I'm 450 miles into the trip and a wheel bearing goes out. I guess I'm totally screwed because I can't take it to HD shop and get the bearings replaced, because of odd ball bearings. Bearings do fail, and not because there not installed correctly.
I like the looks of your wheels, they look great. Love the styles of them.

Yes bearings do fail, however, as stated above the "majority" of the time something else is the cause for premature bearing failure.
The bearings we use are not exclusive to us.
There are 100s of "what ifs" that can happen when we take our road trips none of which are fun to experience when they happen.
Thanks for the compliment on the wheels, much appreciated.

Did someone **** in your Cheerios this morning?
I fail to see the value in ripping on someone who is asking for feedback on the styling of their new wheel.

Same thing that happens if your Baker transmission fails, your S&S motor, or any other non-Harley aftermarket part. You get it fixed.

Coastal Moto is the place to go for wheels, as you can see from my sig pic, that is wher I went. I was down in Daytona for Biketoberfest and I just dropped in and Jason and Jeff made me a KILLER DEAL. I am gettin ready to order up my rear wheel this week, since I didnt get it at the time. I was undecided if I should use a smoothie or the matching rear. I'm gonna do the matching since I have done some "upgrades" LOL..You guys will be hearing from me soon!
