Default 16” rear on a dyna

I just got a set of amf 9 spoke wheels off a guy locally. The front is 19” and the rear is 16”. Other than a new rear tire what will I need to make this set up work? I don’t have abs if that makes a difference.

Might be wrong, but I don't think you're going to want to do what it will take to install those 99-earlier (technically 9-spoke is 95-earlier) wheels with 3/4" Tapered wheel bearings on your 25mm sealed bearing mid-glide bike

Can’t just swap bearings?

Swapping bearings wouldn't fall under "do what it will take to install", that's simple stuff



No, the Tapered Bearing and Your Sealed Ball bearing have different ODs (outside diameter)

You would have to stay with the 3/4" and work around that

Maybe, but you would lose your pulley/rotor locator on the hub

you’re right I just went down to one of the shops I use and he said not gonna happen without milling a premade set of bearings.
