Default wheel swap

I have a chance to trade the laced wheels on my 03 FXDL for the cast wheels from a 06 sportster. from what I've dug up so far the front axels are the same but the 03 dyna rear axel is 3/4" and the 06 sporty has a 1" axel. can anyone tell me what I will need to do as far as new parts to make this work.

thanks for your help

There are bearings out there you can use to make it a 3/4" axle wheel. The best bet is to post in the Sportster section...

Why would the Sportster Section be "the best bet"?


And why would you Cheneylowrider not follow up on your other thread or post a new thread in the wheel wheels/tires ... didn't you appreciate the info?

Because I'm sure that someone over there has reduced a newer 1" axle rim to fit their older 3/4" axle bike... Might know the exact part number for the bearing replacement....

Apparently you "cared" enough about this thread's answer



You remind me of past Girlfriends ... Everything is fine unti it isn't.

What was it this time (unbeknownst to me) that got your panties in a bunch

Are you feeling better now?



So let's see how long my answers don't matter to you before you feel like you need to "just say something"
