Default Front Hub Width

I am looking for a wheel for a bike build I have going on but am having a hard time figuring out which wheel it is I need.

I am looking for a 19x2.5 40 spoke wheel with a 5in wide hub. I read on another forum that there are narrow glide hubs that are 5in wide.

What I am trying to figure out is which years/model has this hub that seems impossible to find. I've heard 2006 or later, but this is not true, as I got a narrow glide wheel off a Sportster that's hub measured around 4 3/4.

So what I am wondering now is, is it a 2006 or later Dyna model that has the 5in wide hub?

I am having one hell of a time finding one, can't even locate those years of wheels on ebay.

Thanks in advance for any information!

What front end are you running? Year? Narrow Glide, Mid Glide or Wide Glide? 39mm, 41mm or 49mm legs?

If you know what front end your running, you can isolate the wheels that would have came on bike with that front end and have a better starting point for finding that hub.

Hey blueangel73,

This wheel is going in between a GSXR 1000 setup.

This is why I am having difficulty finding out which wheel it is that I am looking for.

I found this last night "2006-2015 Harley Davidson Dyna Super Glide, Low Rider, Street Bob, Super Glide Custom" I think they all run the 49mm forks?

I am finding it hard to find hub width info about any setup really.

Where are you referencing the 5" from?

Outside bearing to bearing?...rotor mounting surface to rotor mounting surface?...Outside of rotor locators on hub? (if that makes sense. that would be the widest possible dimension)

Sorry multihdrdr, I could have given more information.

This is what I found on another forum (Cafe racer forum)

"2008-2010 dyna narrow glide hub is +/- 5.0in (+/-127mm) wide from flange to flange"

Still doesn't tell me which model the hub is from.

Yeah that's a 2006-later Dyna Mid-glide Hub. 2006-2007 came with 1" ID x 21mm wide bearings and 2008-later had 25mm ID x 15mm wide bearings. The bearing bore depths are different.

It comes from any model dyna, except the FXDWG "Wide Glide"

Are you using the GSXR trees also? Or are you installing the GSXR legs into a set of HD trees?

Also, Dyna hasn't used a narrow glide front end for a long time, as far as I know 06 and newer are either the mid-glide (Super Glide, Street Bob, and Low Rider) and the Wide-Glide (Fat Bob with no rake and Wide Glide with the +3 rake). The only bikes running the Narrow-Glide trees are the Sportsters.

I am using GSXR triple dimensions with a different offset. I had a triple set made.

Maybe people referring to the Dyna wheels as a Narrow-Glide is what has thrown me in the wrong direction.

Yeah that's a 2006-later Dyna Mid-glide Hub. 2006-2007 came with 1" ID x 21mm wide bearings and 2008-later had 25mm ID x 15mm wide bearings. The bearing bore depths are different.

This is the info I was looking for! Thank you very much.

Now to find a used wheel for sale...

Anyone know what a Dyna FXDWG wide glide wheel hub measures? How wide from widest mounting point, to widest mounting point? Trying to figure out if i I could run one in my mid glide with some new spacers or if its just too wide

I have a 2008 mid-glide 19 take off. It has 25mm bearings and stock Dunlop tire that has less than 2500 miles. Took it off FXDC to make room for wide-glide setup, and now have no use for it.
