Hi Guys,
pretty new to the site, but hoping some one any one can answer my question....first of all lets just call this bad deal on ebay....bought a wideglide front end of ebay of what i thought was an '06 night train everything fit smooth as butter...that is until i went to put my front rim on.....apprently its a front end off of an '07 night train with the 25mm axle because my rim of an '06 night train does not fit....assuming it a on inch axle. long story short and on to my question. can i just replace the bearings in the wheel and everything will be kosher? i heard have heard that the newer bearings where thinner and wouldnt work.....some one has had to run into this before im going crazy here


thank you

Default Easy Fix

Repalce the bearings and you will be good to go.

Common modification.
