Default Wheel question

I'm thinking about buying the 18" flhx wheel for my 06 flhx. I know there are some differences internally.

What is required to do the swap?

You'll just need the bearings for an '06.

Wheel, hub, bearings, spacers. There is no need to alter the fender mounts for an 18" wheel. Pretty simple mod.
