Does a 2003 Heritage and a 2010 Deluxe have the same front end and use the same wheel spacers etc.Besides the difference in wheel bearings 3/4 vs 25 mm? Happy New Year. Thanks in advance.

I would imagine that the lowers are different to incorporate the 25mm axle which is different. Aside from that I would think it is the same.

I once had my parts guy look up the hub for a 2000 sumthing softail wheel and compare the p/n to my 2007. He told me the hub p/n had not changed since 2000.

If that helps any. To me that would mean yes unless the forks had changed. doubtful on that though.

Malingerer,
For what it is worth I bought a 21" wheel for my '11 deluxe that had 3/4 bearing installed and was told all I had to do was change the bearings and sleeve to the ones out of my stock wheel because the hubs were the same. The bearings did fit but sleeve would not slide through hub and I had to bore the hub to allow sleeve from the 25mm setup to work. The 3/4 bearings were wider and the sleeve was shorter also so the bearing offsets were different which would make me think the spacers would have been different to on the 3/4 axle.
