Axle and spacers for 18" SG front wheel. Anyone?
Please don't react. I'm suited.
Hi I'm looking for a 2010 and up axle with spacers to do the 16"-18" front wheel swap on my 07 SG. Please let me knoe if you have one and want to sell.
Many thanks!

get the axle from rg567. Just go to the dealer and get the spacers. I did the same swap on my 05 electraglide,Put a 2010 18" SG wheel on. If I remember right I think the spacers cost me $16. I had to use my old rotors but thats it. New Wheel,new axle, spacers and old rotors and your good to go. ALSO make sure the new wheel doesnt have ABS bearings. If so your going to need to change them out. If you have to change them might as well put in 1" bearings and then you dont need to change the axle.or spacers. But still need your old rotors.

Thanks for the advice. I need to replace the bearings because these are the 2010's. As I understand it's better to put in new 25mm bearings and swap the axle and spacers for the 2008 and up.

I don't believe you would have to replace the bearings if you have an axle already.... Just offering my .02 to help make this an inexpensive swap.
Also, Harley recommends you replace the rotor bolts whenever they are removed from the wheel. They are set at a particular torque spec as well.
Good luck!
