Let me save you a big HEADACHE. I just purchased this wheel for my 03 Road King. I emailed company several times to verify dimensions before I ordered. Turns out It's 3/4 inch narrower at the disc flanges. And same for the bearing outside to outside dimension. So I figured not THAT big of a deal - I'll just make/
buy 3/8 inch spacers for the axle and discs. So far just a little headache....Then I realized I need longer disc bolts and as far as I can tell, nobody makes them. Ahhhhhhhhhh
(BIG HEADACHE)
