Default Question whats the Difference between wheels?
OK so this is the question i have...i was looking at a front wheel for my 2010 road king and came across some i liked at a good price but it says it onlt fits Road kings up to 99? so my question is whats the difference between the wheel from 99 and the 2010 wheel? is it the spacers or bearings, or the diameter of the axel?

and also can these things be changed out to make this wheel work on my 2010.


thanks

99 has Tinken wheel bearings, 2010 has sealed bearings. 99 has 3/4 bearings, 2010 has 25mm bearings.
