Thinking about putting the wheels that came stock on my 2007 Road Glide on a 2010 48. Are there any unforeseen pratfalls or, after the bearing conversion, is it straight forward? I'm trying to think the process through before I start. Thanks in advance.

 

I have no idea about the install, but it might look cool? The laced wheels do fir the look of the 48 well, but custom and differant if done right is always cool.

 

Your rear tire on your RG was/is a 180? The 48 has a 150. You can't put a 150 or 160 on your RG rim. To put that big of a tire on the 48 you'd have to convert the belt to a chain and even then without custom spacers on the front and rear sprockets it still may not fit.

 

That's what I have on my drop seat.





I don't think the 48 front end is quite wide enough for the mag hub. I could be wrong but I think it's lacking a little to get the rotor to line up in the caliper mount.

 

Yeah, a 150 will work. Even a 130 (for the front)

 

As otherwise noted, yes, a 150 will work. There is no question about tire sizes, only the wheels. Thanks though.

 

Thats why I said the rear, I'm not "up" on the fronts.

 

Thanks...I'll have to measure the hub centers...I was guessing the mid-glide would have sufficient width. I thought I read where these wheels were on narrow glides with no brakes after indexing (grinding) the lower fork tubes. I want front brakes and do not want to index. I'll check hub centers and width. Thanks again for the tip.

 

MREED - you done with the drop seat or leaf projects yet?
