just put a 12 street glide front wheel on my 05. I got the non abs spacers and 25mm axle parts. When I installed the axle and tried to do the right slider to 7/16 rod on axle step I was no where close. I never had a problem before. Is this step gone with the newer setup?

Thanks

 

bring to top

 

I had the exact same experience when I put a 2012 wheel on my 2006. Was nowhere close to the 7/16 hole. That step seems to have been eliminated on the newer bikes. I just looked at my buddy's 2011 and made sure it looked like his and said, "Close enough."

Loving that 18" wheel. Am I right?

 

does that mean best to use 08+ sliders?

 

Different procedure, starting in 08. Instead of pulling the right fork slider to where it contacts the 7/16 drill bit, you push it, until it contacts the spacer, then tighten the axle holder nuts. It's the axle and spacers that are different, not the lower sliders.

 

good to know...as im about to do same

 

yeah what he said

 

Yep +1

 

Great info. Thanks.

 

Alright, I'm a retard (new Electra Glide owner) and I bought a 2011 SG wheel and put it on my 02 EG. What I did was turn my EG 1" axle down to 25mm and put on the stock 1" spacers. Now I'm having issues with with Left rotor rubbing. Any thoughts?
