wheel bearing question
i need a bit of help if possible. bought a deuce rear wheel to fit in the fxdwg 2011. the deuce runs on a 3/4" axle i believe, and the glide a 25mm one.
i know theres a harley fitment kit, but you cant get them here in the UK.
does anyone know the code on the wheel bearings from the kit?
thanks.

Provided the wheel spacing is the same (meaning the width of the wheels from bearing to bearing) you'll need:
25mm bearings for both sides
25mm spacer (the one that goes between the bearings inside the wheel)
That's what it'll take to get it in the frame. Here's what else you'll have to look at to make it work:
Pulley spacing for alignment
Tire width clearance
Tire/Wheel overall diameter differences for speedo accuracy
I'm sure there may be more but those are the issues that jump out at me. That said, there are a lot of knowledgeable people on HD Forums. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody posted a pic of one on his bike and said "No problem, bolts right up". There are indeed some creative folks here.

thanks. perhaps i should have been a bit clearer.
i know the wheel is a bolt in job, once the bearings are fitted. i just dont know the bearing size/code number. i cant order from harley, as the uk dealers cannot get the kit. i was hopeful that a fellow rider from the USA could give me this info.

Here are a couple of things that might help you. First, this link lists individual part numbers. The shim that goes behind the bearing on the brake side is going to be hardest to find. You will not have one of these in your stock wheel. http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US...ts/-J04057.pdf
For alternate bearings, you can use All ***** Racing 25-1571.
If you are using the actual new wheel, it is bolt on. If you are using an older wheel from a duece, you may have to make the inside bore larger to accomodate the axle spacer.
