So a few weeks back I came across a deal for some chrome Fat Daddy Spokes (Sized: 21x2.15 for the Front and 16x3.5 for the Rear) that were off a 2002 FXD. It was an amazing deal and after consulting with my friend he tells me that they should fit my 2001 Fatboy, so I bought them. However, now that its time for me to buy tires and get it all taken care of I see that the front might have some issues to deal with (need spacers, etc) but I read on here somewhere that someone else bolted (Plug n Play) the 21x2.15 Dyna front wheel on their Softail with no issues other than the wheel sitting a lil offset to one side due to the smaller width.
I've been looking for that post all weekend and cant seem to find it
Can anyone shed some light on this swap? Spacer size needed etc?
Pretty sure that both the 02 FXD and 01 FLSTF share the same 3/4" bearings.
Any and All info on this swap would be very much appreciated. Please and Thank You!
you can replace the 1" bearings with 3/4" sealed if needed...you can mock it up using stacked washers or cutting pvc pipe to get the correct spacing then measure an order. I'd like to find a deal like that but I want a 3" wide front.
