New Front Wheel Help
The gf has an '09 Deluxe with the stock 16" front laced wheel.
She picked up a new fat spoke wheel BUT it has the Timken bearings for a 3/4" shaft.
Does anyone know bearing part numbers or where to get the bearings to fit the wheel ?
The fat spoke wheel appears to be for an older Deluxe. 45MM OD X 3/4" ID and we need 52MM OD X 25MM ID
Any links to web sites to adapt this stuff or ?
I've been to the local bearing house and nothing.
Thanks in advance

You cannot make that wheel work without more changes as the Timken bearing has a smaller OD than the needed bearing. You could get fork sliders off a 2000-2005 softail as they used 3/4 bearings and make it work...

This wheel uses a tapered roller bearing whereas the '07 and up use a ball bearing. The standard '09 bearing is a 6205 which is 25/52/15. The closest we can find is a 6005 which is 25/47/12. The wheel would actually require a 25/45/?? to use on an '07+

hey raggmann I used some cheap ebay bearings when I put new V rod muscle wheels with 25 mm axles on my 02 with 1" axles. These weren't the best quality but did the job. If that wheel has tapered bearings it's a 99 an down wheel, they went to 3/4 sealed bearings in 2000 but I don't know if there's a size difference. if he had a 3/4 axle bike wanting to put a 25 mm wheel on it it's easy with the adapters.

Sounds like Evil Side Customs in Red Deer, Alberta has a cure for her so she's heading that way tomorrow.
I'm a 25year+ partsman and no catalog shows me a bearing so we'll see.
I'll post the results probably Thursday
