If I was to order these wheels for my 08 night train what all would I have to change to make them fit? How do I know for sure that these will fit before ordering? I know I will have to change the 3/4" bearings to 25mm. I dont want to order these and have that much money invested and they not fit. Also what would look better, going to 18x5.5, or staying with 17x6.25 and going with a 210x50x17 rear tire? What are the spacers made from and is this something the Dealer can make themselves? Thanks for any input, Joey.

 

When you change the bearings, you also might have to have a machine shop open up the inside of the wheel. There has to be at least enough clearance for the bearing spacer to stay stationary with the axle inside the wheel as the wheel rotates. the spacers are made of steel. The spacers that go on the outside of the wheel, between the pulley and swing arm, or the brake rotor and swing arm are available aftermarket in any thickness, you might need. I have fit many different wheel/ tire setups to many different Bikes so if you need more info just let me know, As far as what looks the best? That is a personal opinion. Myself, I am not a big fan of the fat tire look. I am old school in my tastes though.

 

The place that has the wheels (ACM) told me all I had to do was change the bearings to 25mm which is what I need. Everything else will work.According to ACM. Wheel currently has 3/4 bearings. Would the O.D. of the bearings be the same? Then I would have to shim to fit with spacers. Is this correct?

 

I cannot say for sure that the 25mm bearing is the same OD but I can say with about 99% conidence that it is. the OD of the 3/4 and 1 inch is so I would assume the 25mm is the same also. If there is enough clearance inside the wheel, that is the inside diameter of the hole, for the spacer to go through then you are all set. When you order a new bearing kit, it Usually will come with 2 or 3 different internal spacers, but since those wheels already come with bearings, then they will already have the correct spacers in them. The only other consideration is the hub width. If it is the same as your stock wheels, then you can use your stock axle spacers. If it is different then you will have to work with spacers so the brake discs and drive pulley are coorectly aligned wth the calipers and drive belt

 

There is three different spacers on each axle, one inside the wheel between the bearings and on on each side next to the legs on the front and the swingarm on the rear.
