Will they fit?
Good morning all,
This will bring my post total to a whopping 2. My wife is taking delivery of a 1999 Ultra classic for me today. ( I am in Iraq right now) and I wanted to see about some new style wheels off a newer ultra so I can chrome them. I saw a set on Ebay for an 05 road king but I am not sure what fits what. can anyone tell me what will work for my bike? I dont mind changing bearings and such if need be. I just dont want to pony up the dough and have them chromed only to find out they wont work when I get home in 4-5 Months. Thanks in advance.

RE: Will they fit?
Thanks for the help guys, newhog I see you have the big bore kit, my bike has the big bore kit and the screaming eagle stage one with stock cams. ( I really have no Idea what a sreaming eagle stage one consists of) I have never rode a ultra before, how much difference did the big bore kit make from stock, also the PC III, did that makea big difference as well, thanks for indulging the newby questions. I am coming off sportbikes, and dont know much about harleys other than a sportster I cusomized a couple years ago.

RE: Will they fit?
06 wheels won't fit your 99. Bearings and axles are different sizes.
Have your wife get someone to pull your stock wheels and send them out for chrome. Or look into aftermarket wheels. Or Look for 99 wheels on ebay.
That's the easy route, of course.
Nice Sporty, BTW. Stay safe.

I'm pretty sure that any wheel with a 3/4" bearing set up will work on your 1999 Ultra. In 2002 I believe that the touring bikes went to 1" bearings. There are kits out there that will allow you to retro fit a 1" bearing wheel to 3/4" forks but I have no experience with those. I'm sure you can buy such a kit from J&P or Dennis Kirk.
