FXDC Wheels
Greetings, just wanted some non-biased non-dealer straight answers. \\; Will the pre-bullet hole solid Fat Boy rims (Circa 2004-2006) fit on a '08 Custom? \\; Is there anything special I need to do to the bike to put a set on if they do fit? \\; Thanks \\;

RE: FXDC Wheels
I believe you are going to run into axle size issues, bearing size issues, and hub width issues. \\;
 \\;
The 08s have a 25mm axle. \\; You will have to change the bearings in older wheels you want to install.
 \\;
I believe a couple other guys have posted wanting to do the Fat Boy wheels on the mid-glide Dynas and found the hubs were too wide for the \\;space \\;in the tubes. \\; I think one actually had some mill work done to his sliders to get them to work. \\;
 \\;
Maybe you can dig this info up doing a search.
 \\;
Good luck.
