Default 2017 dyna wheel

Can you guys help me out I’m trying to find out how much work it would be to fit a 2017 dyna wide glide front wheel to my 2000 soft tail standered?

I'm putting a switchback wheel on mine an from what I've read it bolts right up....you might need custom spacers to center the wheel. You could also use the 25 mm to 3/4 adapters so your axle will work with the wheel. I have a set somewhere I'm never going to use.

I think you're going to have to find them from a bearing supplier...the outside diameter is 52 mm, the inside diameter is what you want for your axle 3/4, 1", 25 mm. the difference is on 1" an 3/4" were 20 mm wide while the 25 mm are 15 mm wide. they would fit in the wheel but stick out, which might be ok but I don't know.

So your saying my bearings are deeper than the ones in the newer wheel? But are the same outside diameter?

I did this a while ago when I put some V rod muscle wheels from a '12 onto my 02 v rod....I was re-reading some of the info an some guys say you can just pop the correct bearing for the year bike you have into the new wheel an get spacers to fit the new bearing width. I wanted the bearings flush so I could reuse the stock spacers. I've heard an read there's no problem with the axle adapters...they just take up the space between the bearing an axle, all the rolling is done by the bearings.
