Please help. New female rider here. Want to know if any wheel in the catalog will fit my fatboy even if it says it wont. What if I just see the wheel i like and put the right size axle and bearings and spacers on it?
Wellll...thats a rather open and broad question. Assuming you are talking about Harley's catalog...they would probably have a lot of wheels available to fit your bike but not all of them will. Easiest way to know for sure is just ask.
I always ask whomever I buy wheels from for the right wheel to fit my bike. meaning I never give them a model number. Their damn fitment charts are usually so confusing I'm afraid of ordering the wrong wheel. Either that or just post on here exactly what wheel your looking at and see if anyone is running it.
