09 sb wheels on 07 sb question ??????
HEY GUYS NEED SOME SERIOUS INPUT HERE..
Ok am poised to shell out on som 09 street bob wheels because I want to fit them on my 07 street bob.I like the black rims and thought at least I could get some money back by selling my stockers after the swop..
Have looked into the 07 and 09 street bob wheel specs..07 has 1" bearings and 09 has 25mm ones which I knew but please someone tell me theres a way round this problem.
The other thing I did'nt know was yep the rim widths are the same on both 07 and 09 on the back but seems the front rim width on the 07 is 250 and the rim width on the 09 is 275.
Least the front rim is a bit wider so must be better for my avon 110/90x19 .
So...07 and 09 bearing fit issues...anyone got any ideas or done it themselves...Wheel swop,is it imposible ?
and if it is possible whats the going price for a good second hand set of 09 wheels ?
Please help as I got just a few days to close the deal...........
Thanks everyone ...Sumpnut

I know the 1" bearings are slightly thicker than the 25mm ones,think the 09 rims have a spacer inside the bearing housing to take up the slack..custom shop I know said they could lathe it for the 1" bearing depth,but me thinks well that 25mm is a tad under 1" so the 1" bearing would'nt press in or they might lathe that too???
Heard rumours of guys milling down the 1" wheel axle to suit,dont know if that works as no one has ever given 100% feed back about that...what about using the 25mm axles ? any probs with bolting the wheels up back and front?
Anybody??? must be possible to do : )

Should be very doable. You need a couple #9247 bearings. You can use your old wheel spacers. These bearings are 24.00 at Zanottis.
Same for the rear.
The bearings are not easily switched in the average owner's garage and most end up paying someone to change them. Definitely consider an indy.
Another way to do it would be to keep the 25mm bearings in the new wheels and change to a 25mm axle and new spacers. Axle should cost you about $50.00, spacers are about $5.00 each through Zanottis. This option cost you a little more in parts, but saves labor and trouble going to someone to have the bearings switched.
Here is a set from an 09 I saw on eBay:

Switch out the bearings. Just research the OD/Width dimentions of the HD 1" sealed bearings and the OD/Width dimentions of the 25mm bearings, that should give you the answer is they are compatible.
You would need an entire 2008+ rear brake assembly, as the 2006-2007 unit has a 1" hole for the axle, and is a complete caliper and bracket unit. This combined with new axles, spacers, etc. would be costly.

Its cheaper to buy 09 wheel set because in the long run I have my old ones to sell..get some money back.Ive contacted an indy in my area and he said a bearing swop is possible even though the 25mm bearings and 1" o/d might be the same they are thinner in width..said something about machining the spacer in the 09 wheel???
Have seen those 09 wheels on ebay thanks and was ready to bid and contacted the seller...man I'm f%&&&/(/in pi/(/(/&%%&/=???ed off as he wont ship international and I'm living in Sweden !!!! Can't unserstand why a seller won't ship international if the buyer is willing to pay shipping costs???
