Default Bearing size on a 2005 superglide?

Can you swap a stock superglide rear to a stock fatboy wheel? Are the bearings and axle the same size? I figure you Dyna guys will know. Thanks.

Default Bearing Size

I'm no expert but I am pretty sure the axle and bearings are 3/4" on the 05. You cannot put a fatboy rim on a 05 or any other dyna without some mods. The center hub is wider than on a stock wheel.

3/4" axle on that year.
The sprocket is different to, it will be a more narrow belt.
Not sure about the hub.

A '00-'05 Dyna wheel will bolt right on a '00-'02 Softail.....Got the info from the back of a HD catalog....Look for yourself.

At any rate, 1" or 3/4" bearings are no problem if you need one or the other. They can easily be swapped.

the older fatboy wheel and nighttrain wheel fit up perfectly.... see my sig below.
that rear wheel is the part # to an 03 night train. the new wheel with the 200 tire will not fit.
So anubisss depends on the year of the wheel.

They are 3/4" and like xxx said it is not a problem to swap them.

I've got a Sporty wheel outback, too. I lucked up and found a model year that didn't need a bearing change.
