04 road king classic / custom wheel interchangeable
Im fairly new to Harleys so bare with me lol
I have a 04 road king classic and stumbled across some 04 road king custom wheels. It says in the description that the bearings are 25mm and 16x3. I was wondering if the wheels were interchangeable between the 2?

I also thought the price was to high
someone also told me that since the wheel bearing is 25mm it will not be a direct fit on the road king 1 inch axle

That is my understanding as well from a previous thread.
Something about 25mm is not 1", It's .98" so you can't slide a 1.00" axle through a .98" hole. Also something about the 25mm bearings are thinner, so the recess is not as deep as a hub that uses 1" bearings, so if you tried to install 1" bearings in a 25mm hub they would be sticking out the sides. I'm sure someone with first hand experience will be along shortly to answer your question

Ive never seen those wheels before and I like them! Especially color matched. But I guess it depends on what look youre going for. Any idea what size bars those are? Sorry I dont have any useful info on wheel swap.
Those are the road king standard rims. Classic did come with laced wheels. Drag specialties has laced wheels oem for the king. They take stock bearings, but you have to reuse your spacers. Make sure you install the primary brake bearing first to get proper offset. Primary brake side has a line under the brake rotor. Get the service manual. It helps. Good hunting.
