Default Mag wheel conversion

Ok, I have a 2001 Super Glide FXD with mag wheels. I also have an 06 Streetbob with spoke wheels. I was wondering if it was possible to flip these wheels as i am keeping the street bob and going to be selling the super glide. I believe the difference would be the spacers on the wheels didnt know if perhaps i could just perform a quick flip flop. Thanks

You'll need to switch the bearings as well (2001 3/4" vs 2006 1")

So if he puts 3/4" bearings and axle sleeves on the 2006 mags they'll work on his 2001? (providing he uses the 2001 3/4" wheel spacers)?

Default Wheel Swap........

I believe HD went to a wider rear wheel & tire on the 2006 up bikes so the 06 wheel won't fit in the 02 Rear Fender.

Ride Safe,

Not sure if they will fit with the spacers. Hubs for 2001 and 2006 models do have different p/ns.

According to some parts diagrams I checked at http://www.cyclecityltd.com MoCo switched from 3/4" (p/n 9267 52mm OD, 3/4" ID) to 1" (p/n 9247 52mm OD, 1" ID) bearings on '06 and later Dyna models.

You wont be able to put the street bob wheels on the 01 fxd. The front hub is too wide for the narrow forks. And the rim for the rear is too wide as well
