Hi everyone, Ive been driving Japanese and triumph motorcycles from around 12yrs old now 61 Ive bought myself a 2002 fatboy with aftermarket wheels I think they are anyway. I have bought a used original rear wheel or so I have been told and the issue is it doesnt fit with the spacers I already have is there any information I can give for some much needed help. Also good afternoon from Scotland.

the issue you have is the aftermarket wheels are sealed bearing and the stock wheels have 3/4" timken bearings with the seal. so you need to get spacers that will work with timken bearings. they sit inside the seal.
