The rear hub uses flat roller bearings. It the races are worn, replacement/over-size bearings are available....+0.0002"
I am working with a rear wheel that uses 16 roller bearings on each side. These measure 0.248" by 0.490". This would make them 2289-25 which cross over the the present day number of 9920 (0.250").
According to motorhead1 on the AMCA site, these are used on '58 and later big twins. Antique Cycle Supply shows them on page 90 available in many oversizes. ...bill

Handle bars and triple-clamp.
