Default Wrong wheel..👎


Picked up brand new wheels on Craigslist for my dyna. Came in box. I anticipated having to change the bearings if needed but the front wheel hub does not work with my front end. After a little research I believe it's for a wide glide front end. My question, what's the best/cheapest way to remedy my problem? Swap hubs, buy a whole different wheel?

Is that a stock HD hub?

Post a picture of the hub from a different angle.

Is it a 21" rim? If so, I'd say you're correct on the Wide Glide guess.

Could swap to Fat Bob or Wide Glide trees, or buy a different wheel.

Too bad you didn't ask first, but unfortunately you didn't know there was anything to ask

Yep, that's definitely a Wide Glide hub.

The most cost effective option for you at this point is to sell that wheel and buy a new one with the correct hub for your setup.
