Axle Sizes?
Hi Guys,
I've been trying to get a definitive answer as to when and on which models Harley increased the axle size from 3/4" to 1". I keep getting different answers so I thought someone here might know for sure. I make a wheel balancer for Harleys and this question constantly comes up.
Any help is greatly appreciated

RE: Axle Sizes?
The FL for sure was Timkin Taperes, 2" front rotor sholder till & thru 1999. 2000 & 2001 2.23" & 3/4" axle. 2002 thru 2007 = 1". 2008 = 25mm (-0.0016" off of a 1" axle), Check this out for photos relating to another HDForums member.

RE: Axle Sizes?
Thank you very much for the info. I'm a bit confused about the thru 1999 specs. I'm not sure what a rotor sholder is. Was the axle 2" in diameter during those years? My balancer cones support the wheel via the bearings so what I'm really looking for is the bearing inner race ID which should be slightly larger than the axle so knowing the axle size is fine. The 2000 & 2001 I read to be a 3/4" axle but what does the 2.23" represent? The OD of the bearing? I read the 2002 through 2008 to ne 1". Any clarification is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc
