Ok, doings a sporty build 1200N, i have a 21in front wheel off of a soft tail, problem is it doesn't fit obviously, anyone know the best way to get this wheel mounted up, hoping new trees will get it in there...thanks all
I guess it depends on what you chop, bob or slam.
Bearing sizes have varied over the past 6-10 years. If you plan on reusing your lower legs, you'll need the appropriate bearings for the legs' axle holes. An '07 Nightster has 3/4" bearings in front. It'll make life easier if the Softail hub has 3/4" bearings.
A Google example. This may actually be a mid-glide and it has raked trees, not a cut and raked neck:
