Default 07 to 08 Front Wheel Change

&nbsp\\;I have a 2007 Roadking Custom&nbsp\\;and want to put&nbsp\\;a front wheel from&nbsp\\;a 2008&nbsp\\;Street Glide on.&nbsp\\; The axle sizes are&nbsp\\;different&nbsp\\;from 07 to 08.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;If I use the 08&nbsp\\;axle and spacers on my 2007 King?&nbsp\\; And then use the 07&nbsp\\;axle and spacers for the 08&nbsp\\;Street Glide.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Will this work?&nbsp\\; The forks will be&nbsp\\;issue if there&nbsp\\;is any.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

The brake rotors are also different from '07 to '08.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; The '08 brake rotors are slightly bigger than the '07's so you'd have to swap those as well along with the Brembo calipers[sm=outcold.gif].&nbsp\\;

Your easiest solution is to stay within your model year unless someone else see's something that I may have missed.

the 08's have a 25mm bearing and axle.&nbsp\\; If you were to put the 08 wheel on the 07, you would need to change out the bearings to fit your 07 axle and possibly have to change/have some new axle spacers made.&nbsp\\; He is right about the 08 rotors.&nbsp\\; they have a slightly larger diameter, however, you can bolt on your 07 rotor to the 08 wheel.&nbsp\\; HD didn't change the bolt hole pattern on the hubs.&nbsp\\; Hope this helps!
