Hi,
Im in the process of fitting a 2007 FXSTC profile wheel to my 2006 FXSTI, I know I will have to change the bearings on the wheel to 3/4" but does anyone know the spacer sizes I will need, I think the hub on the FXSTC may be slightly narrower. Any help would be appreciated.

 

some folks like them and some folks dont

 

Bit like Chicargo then!

 

spacers are the same on both years

 

Well I managed to get the new wheel fitted by swapping the bearings on the wheel to 3/4 bearings. The spacers were infact different although the Harley parts book said they were the same.
The 3/4 bearings sit slightly proud so I was able to use the 2006 spacers. 1" bearings sit flush and would need 2007 bearings.

Anyway when I took my 2006 wheel off and removed the tyre I found that there was a substantial amount of rust on the inside of the rim and underneath the tape. I think if I hadnt found this it could have caused a punture in the near future.

My bike had never seen rain, is well looked after and kept covered in a garage....the rim should not be rusty after 2000 miles and 23 months old. Anyone who is changing tyres soon should have a close look inside around the tape...just in case

 

...that figures, as I wash my dang bike so much that it's bound to have rust in the front rim if I were to ever take off the rim tape. I do use high velocity air dryer after every washing.

 

The front rim on an 07 fxstc is chromed aluminum, not steel. Can't figure out where you got the rust from?

rbabos, it was the 2006 wheel with the rust
