Am I supposed to put 2 bearings side by side in the larger rear wheel hub instead of the 1 wider original bearing????? I searched and searched and found this info no where...i have an 07 Chopper?????
 
Dual bearings allow for a back up if one goes bad.
Easier to press in and out
Run cooler
Cheaper
Just my opinion of course

because of the pull of the belt, there is more pressure on the drive side bearing so if you have 2 on that side, better distributes the forces. (more pressure=more heat=faster destruction)
