Default how to identify 17" Fatboy rims

I just picked up a pair of 17" Fatboy rims last weekend. I'm trying to determine if they are 07s or 08 up. The rear has 3/4" bearings and the fronts are 25mm. I haven't measured the hubs themselves yet.

I know it's gonna be a bitch to fit them to my 06 SG, but these are the rims I want.

07s...only year (transitional) FLSTF that had 25mm front with 3/4 rear...25mm front and rear after that.

Different ways to mount them on an SG...you'll need a rotor spacer or caliper spacers or you'll have have to move the wheel over with different outer wheel axle/bearing spacers.

Just the the opposite of when you put a "Touring" wheel on a Fatboy...you face-off the rotor mounting flange or move the wheel over the other way

Btw, my comments regarding spacers and such were in reference to the front wheel.

So you're going single sided? If so, report back on braking differences
