axel diameters...
I came here looking for the axel diameters what I got from posts 11 years ago was so wrong and misleading... HD used 3/4" .75" up until 2000 then went to a 1" with the sealed bearings then in 2008 went to a 25mm axel diameter... now I believe you cannot use a 3/4" tapered bearing wheel with a 1" axel but the sealed bearings both have the same OD the ID is different so a 2001 axel will be ok with a later model wheel... now My expertise ends at he 2010 models. I believe that's when HD R&D went woke and tried to use every new technology and left what got them here behind...JMHO

01 had 3/4" axles. I converted mine to 1" and it wasn't cheap. I am talking about the rear axle which required replacing the swing arm. And Izzo, I let the misspell slide. LOL

My 2000 Heritage has sealed bearings in front and tapered bearings in the rear. Found this on first tire change. It came from dealer with aftermarket wheels so I guess they used what they had. Lol
oh and I believe they are both 1” axles
