Deluxe Owners -Wheel Change
Ok, I'm looking to change to 80 Spoke Wheels on my 06 Deluxe when I install a Chrome Front End.
I've done a Forum search hereand there is so many conflicting answers I'm going to ask it again.
1. What size Wheels do I need 16 x ? Front and Rear
2. What size Bearings/Axle size is the Deluxe - Front and Rear.
Thanks for any info....

16 x 3.5 is stock size. Are you staying with stock size? Why not 18's?
I believe the axles are both 3/4". I'm 90% sure. Call your dealer's parts guys about the axle size. If they know their azz from their elbow, they'll be able to tell you.

Never thought about 18's. Why would I want to?
Surely there has to be someone with a Deluxe that went through this already.....

I think the parts guy may be able to help and also the manufacture. i think American wire wheel makes an 80 spoke wheel they are now also called dayton wheel they have moved to Ohio i believe

Thanks, I think the Parts guy may be my best choice. The Service Manual says 16x3 Rim size. I thought it was 16x3.5 too. Once again the confusion.

Go to HOGPRO's website (site sponsor) and look on their "gallery" page under softails to see the 18's on some similar bike.

RE: Deluxe Owners -Wheel Change
There are some deluxe models on their website, here is one with a 19" front wheel and 18 inch rear wheel. Give'm a call, they are great people.

Your '06 has 16 x 3.0" wheels and 3/4" axles front and rear. Going to 3.5" wheels is the common aftermarket upgrade and works perfectly with no issues using your stock tire size.
