Hey guys, I'm in a bind with a bike I'm working on. 2003 softail deuce. The bike has Xtreme machine spade wheels on it. I need to install new wheel bearings but the ones I pulled out are not the right size. It's a 3/4" (19mm) axle and the bearings I pulled out were 20mm. The bearing bore in the wheel is 47mm. Factory size for this bike is a 52mm OD on the bearing. I called Performance Machine and they said they use a 52mm x 15mm x 3/4". They stated if it's an older wheel the dimensions may be different but couldn't tell me what they might be. Anyone have any advice on where I should go from here?
Edit: the bearing bore in the wheel is 47mm wide and 16.5mm deep.

hi was just wondering if those bearings worked out. I'm looking to change bearings on a xtreme machine wheel also
They did but I had to get a spacer kit and respace the wheel. If you still have the original bearings in yours you should measure the thickness and post back here.
