Ok I'm tired of searching so I'll just ask. Will a front wheel from a wide glide work on a 05 electraglide. Thanks in advance!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it will. The only thing you have to watch for is the axle size. Even if it's different, it can be changed out to work.

I originally was sure it would work without question. But then....I searced for the definitive answer and WALLA! NO answers! Somebody on here has the answer. Bearings and axles I can deal with if the wheel is not too wide.

I found on the net, that the wide glide has a 1" axle.

Yeah but did it happen to mention how wide the hub is! Thats what I cant find out. Had an old timer tell me the flht forks and the wide glide forks were the same therefore the wheels would be the same. I'm not so sure I can trust him LOL!
