Hi all,

I took the bike to the local harley dealer and they told me that HD changed the axel size to 1.5in instead of the 1in they use to have. My question is, is this true? Thanks in advance!!

 

Wow... That would be the first I heard of that? Sorry I don't have a answer for you. If you don't mind me asking... What Island you on? I'm on Oahu, Windward side of the Island.

If you're interested come on over to the night train piture thread there are a bunch of darkside guys there... Come on over an introduce yourself... Aloha Mark

I'd suggest finding a new mechanic. HD changed from 3/4" to 25mm (or 1") axle, not 1.5"

 

Hu I though you guys all knew each other. THats the first I heard of that . It would be an easy fix w/ a drill I'd think.

 

1.5" eh!
Have to go back to my dealer and tell em they owe me another half inch of axle diameter!

 

I think it would be worth getting a second opinion.

 

WOW!! I got an 09 I guess my axle is bigger then my exhaust pipe!! HAHAHA

No they switched from a 3/4 to 25mm like outlaw said your plate holder should work

 

Guess I should have made what looked like a statement a bit more painfully obvious for what it was "smart a$$'d remark"

 

Im also on Oahu, Schofield Barracks, to be exact

 

Thanks everyone!!
I thought the mechanic was full of ****, I think maybe he got lazy and didnt wanna put it on, So i guess I go and see if it fits my damn self !!!!
