Wheel Installation Kit
Just for those of us who have to order stuff blind over the internet ...
Can I just confirm, does the Wheel Installation Kits, e.g. I am looking at the 1" AXLE, 43848-08A kit, include a range of spacers and crush tube to fit different bikes?
For example, looking at this installation fitment guide, here, it lists 3 sleeves and 3 spacers.
For we lesser mortals who exist beyond the safe borders of the USA, a $89 kit costs $120 to $140 ... when all I really need as 2 bearings and 2 tubes.
Is there anything else in them I would want, e.g. a set of disc screws etc?
No thread comes up with this title so I thought it would useful since you/we come up high in the Google rankings for H-D tech talk.
Thanks.

Hi HB! The kit I bought came with a couple of tubes (that go between the bearings) and a couple of valve stems. They are intended primarily for adapting new custom wheels. There are no rotor or pulley screws. Hopefully this link will take you to a photo.
Here's a front kit. To me it looks like there are two sets of tubes for two different models, whereas in this kit, there is only one ... (this is what confused me, the seller has no clue. It think it's incomplete and a mix up of parts. I checked some part numbers on the Ebay auctions and they were a mix of stuff like TC rocker box screws and so on!!! I could not find a single wheel/model that required them.).
And what are all these ... you can see how it become confusing at time. It is from a 1" Dyna installation kit. It looks like rotor and disc screws included.

That photo is of 43861-07
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-David...-/380439766802
43861-07 was replaced with 43861-08 and then 43861-08a ... and the price went up from Ł57 to Ł73 ($91 to $117) in the UK.
I cannot find any official parts list. No idea of the improvements.
So do the kits come with redundant parts for other bikes?
Would one be better off just buying a spacer, crush tube and two better ball bearings?
