Default 21" front wheel question
I have a 21" dna frontwheel that i want to put on my deluxe flstn -08. The 21" wheel have 3/4 ( 19.05 mm) bearings. The axel on the bike is 25mm. Is there any axel from another bike that will work whit the wheel and the bike? Or must a replace the bearings in the wheel?

Different wheels but the process should be similar.

Most NAPA Stores usually have what you need to do this.

need spacer, too
it prevents side load on bearings when tightening axle
bigger one wont get contact all way around
