Tourning Wheel / Bearing Size Clarification 2k - 2007
For the Touring bikes, can someone clarify the size of the wheels for 2000-2007? Are they identical with the only difference being the bearing size?
I am doing a swing arm upgrade on my 2001RK and it has 3/4" bearings stock. 2002 - 2007 are 1". Some folks tell me I need to get a 2002-2007 wheel and some say I can just go buy the 1" bearings and I will have the exact same thing. The swing arm came with the 1"axle, nut, and spacers. I know I need the 5/8's bushing kit for this swingarm.
Thanks

I think I answered your question in Touring? If you have 3/4" tapered roller bearings the wheels are different to later wheels with sealed bearings. Read my other answer, as things are not as simple as your question suggests!
