I need some help finding a rear hub for an '08 nightster.
Does anybody have a source for a good one?

 

surdyke and board tracker harley sell parts online cheaper than if you walked in to a dealership. I usually only call the local dealer to find part numbers and search for parts elsewhere.

 

To get a hub from a dealer you have to buy the whole wheel as Harley won't just sell you the hub.

 

Actually, I am swapping wheels sometime within the next two weeks. I will have no use for the old setup as the wheel has some rust issues on the inside. The hub is still well kept. If you are interested and do not find what you need, feel free to private message me and we can discuss the details.

 

Is the hub from an '08 or whatever years are the same as an '08?

 

Mine is from a 2011 48. It is a 16x9 wheel. Part # 41478-10.

According to:

You have a different part number for the rear wheel than I do. However, I would check with a harley dealer to see if the spacers and bolts for the disc are the same. I had them check for the wheels I purchased. If it will work for you just feel free to contact me. They are just gonna sit around in a box until I figure out what to do with them.

 

FWIW it isn't for me.
A friend asked me to find a hub for a friend of his whos wheel bearings went bad and ended up taking out the hub.

Me personally I will never own anything newer than '95 and it will be some flavor of softail.

 

No worries. If I can help someone get back on two wheels, I'm all for it.

 

I feel the same way.
That's why I'm trying to find a hub for an '08 nightster.

 

I just went and looked at the axle is the same for yours and hers.
I figure I can make your hub work on her bike since the axle is the same.
That is if you're willing to let me give it a shot.
