Default wheel install question
My brother is giving me his original front wheel off his 2013 RaodGlide (pretty nice of him), and I would like to install the wheel on my 2007 StreetGlide. The 18 inch wheel has the original ABS bearings installed (very little miles). Do I need to install Non-ABS bearings to make this work? If I need bearings, can I find bearings and sleeves to use with my original 1 inch axle? I would like to install Chrome spacers, what is the part number for the correct Chrome spacers? Thanks for the reply.

Yes, at least by purchasing the 25mm axle, washer, nut, and spacers on parts list. (you decide whether to reuse rotor bolts, and upgrade to the 9276A bearings)

Btw '10-'13 would be the 18". '09 would be a 17".

Alternately, if you're going to replace the bearings you can install 1" bearings with the appropriate spacers and reuse your original 1" axle (see post# 47 pg5) PM me if interested.

Thanks, I'll be looking for a '10-'13 Street Glide front wheel...

If you change to the 25mm axle and spacers from the parts list, DO NOT follow the (1" axle models) service manual which instructs you to pull the right side slider out to the edge of the cross drilled hole in the axle (the way your '04 should be now). When you use the new wider 25mm spacer on the right side, it will do the spacing for you. DO NOT try to pull it farther out to cross drilled hole.

Want to confirm this. I will not have a problem purchasing a ABS wheel? I'll need to replace with non ABS bearing only.

Correct you are sir. I might also suggest replacing both bearings if you don't know the history of the wheel or if it has the "old" 9276 bearings. Upgrade to the 9276A bearing
