No, the 25mm wheels have a different bearing bore depth. On the Rotor side (the first bearing you push in), the bearing will be "bottomed out" with the bearing slightly protruding as I said before.

Use the 25mm spacer sleeve that comes with the wheel, but I would insert your bike's 3/4" spacer sleeve inside the 25mm sleeve to keep the 25mm sleeve concentric with axle/inner bearing races.

That kit looks good in concept ... as long as their math is correct

Do you have any measuring calipers?


Does the "New" wheel have an existing tire that you want to use?

The OE 1-1/8" belt should clear no problem because it's the same belt/pulley used when HD went to the 150 in 2002, but the frame and rear fender changed, so check that closely.


I would really like to get some specific dimensions on that kit before you install. Besides the "Mock-up" proving the kit out, I should be able to prove it out by "Math"

Why? If you're staying single disc, why don't you just use the Vulcan kit they make for the front?

Yeah ok ... besides the Lengths of all the spacers and reducers, I'm also looking for the reducer's "Flange thickness" (see below)





Do you already have the 25mm Narrowglide axle? ... (maybe came with the wheel?)
