Default Front Wheel Road King Classic

Newbie here, I have an 11 Road King Classic with a bent front wheel, is the wheel from an 06 the same size? Is it a direct replacement?

Same size Front Wheel ... 16 x 3"

But you'll need to change the bearings in the 06 wheel to your 2011 25mm Bearings and Center Spacer Sleeve ... You'll also need a Bearing Shim

You can get it all in the HD Wheel Installation Kit OR purchase the Shim and Center Spacer Sleeve separately and get the bearings elsewhere

If you need part #'s, let me know

Do you have ABS? ... BELOW is for NON ABS equipped Bikes


41455-08C ($79.95 list) is the Front Wheel Installation Kit ... includes (2) 25mm bearings, Center Spacer Sleeves, Bearing Shims and more ...
** USE THE CORRECT PARTS FROM KIT

OR

You can get ...
(2) 6205-2rs 25mm bearings (everyone who sells bearings has an equivalent to that bearing #)
(1) 43903-08 ($22.32 list) Bearing Shim
(1) 41900-08 ($10.47 list) Center Spacer Sleeve (OR re-use the one from your 2011 wheel)

The Bearing Shim goes under the Left Front Bearing (inserted before installing the bearing)



This will give you the concept ...
