Default Wheels

Does anyone know if wheels off a 2012 road glide will fit on a 2003 electra glide? Both have one inch axle. All I think I have to do is change out bearings for non abs bearings.

You have 1" axle
I believe `08 and up are 25mm
Both sizes have the same O.D. but there is a difference in width and IIRC this requires attention to spacers
Sure someone here has more details or you can find a past thread

The rear will not fit...180 verses 130. 2009 frame change.

Go to wheel & tire section , see thread entitled " 21 on a slim" for particulars

No you can not use a 180mm rear TIRE, but assuming the new WHEEL is 3.5" or 4.0" wide you can use a 140 or 150

Rear wheel is a no-go. Not happening.

Front wheel can be done, just get the correct bearings for YOUR BIKE and put them in the new wheel. Keep the inner spacer that's with the wheel, use your outer spacers from the bike.

I suppose, on second thought, there is more to it. Not sure what I was mixing up in my head.

I don't have the correct recipe in my head, but I do know that the front can be done and the rear cannot.
