I've been going through a rough time with this wheel change. Now I'm being told that 04 Fatboy wheels will not work on a 07 Deluxe because the rear brake rotor and belt pulley won't match up.

Anyone done this? I can't believe I'm the first to try it.

 

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you, but I do know that 2000-2006 fatboy wheels are pretty much all the same. I would find hard to believe that no one else has an answer to this.

 

i don't believe it'll work. '07 have a 200 rear while the '04's had a 150. i'm sure you could make it work, but i don't know if it wouled be worth all the trouble.

 

Hi grimm, I see your point, but I'm putting this onto a 07 Deluxe. I think the width is the same as the 04 Fatboy?

 

hey jcoers check the deluxe picture thread there are a couple of deluxes in there with fatboy wheels.I cant remember what page their on though, but they did look pretty good to me

 

jcoers the picture of the deluxe with fatboy wheels is on page 41 of deluxe picture thread

 

If I recall. the hubset is not any different from 2000 (and maybe something) till 2007. Not sure about 2008's.. but I believe the axle size is different isn't it? Not sure about that either but you may have to change out the bearings.

 

The axle is a 25mm on an 07 come to think of it. On 2000-2006 it is a 3/4".

 

Thank you for the page number in the picture thread. That is exactly what I am looking for. That was posted in June of 06 so I assume it was an 05 or 06 Deluxe.

You are correct that I will have to change the hubs. I was not too worried about that part. But, I went into a panic when one of the techs at the dealership said that the rotor and/or belt pulley will not work. I already bought the wheels off ebay so I really want to make this work. I was planning on having them powder coated black.

I see mag wheels in the harley catalog that say they will work on fatboys and deluxes from 2000 on up, so I just dont see the problems.

I just wish I could hear from someone who has actually done it. Surely someone has put 00 to 06 Fatboy wheels on a 07 Deluxe.

 

By the way, Anubiss, your bike is killer looking!
