Hi, I bought one of these kits.. I don't quite understand how it works... the big dust shield go on the top neck cup right?.. that works. But, the smaller dust cap goes on the bottom but its too big for the flange to slip between the neck cup and then bearing, and too small to go over the outside like the top one. It cant sit even because it would bind on the neck cup. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction. TAPERED NECK BEARING CONVERSION KIT FOR 1952 - 1977 HARLEY-DAVIDSON XL

If that is the case I would simply omit the bottom dust shield I have done that with no issues

This kit replaces just the neck cups and bearings, yes? Are all other factory/ oem parts reinstalled as disassembled? Are the cups and bearings marked as to upper and lower?

That is correct this kit replaces the loose ball bearings to change those to tapered Timken style bearings, the cups can be installed in either location and the bearing ID will dictate where those go . This kit does not come with any instructions .

Looking to convert my 1974 XLCH to tapered bearings. Why does this kit have one 7/8” bearing and one 15/16” bearing? I thought the Ironheads had either/or, not one of each.

I believe there is a step on the stem and that is why there are 2 different size bearings

I'm trying to convert my 69 shovelhead frame to fit a 7/8 stem is this the correct kit? Thanks in advance.

It is not, the diameter of the part that presses into the frame is for a sportster frame not a big twin frame .
