I tried to search for this but I came up empty. A friend of mine has two take off wheels from a 15th anniversary Fatboy. They are chrome Fatboy wheels. Will these fit on my 1999 Fatboy? I have the non chrome ones and these would be a nice upgrade.
I thought I read somewhere that I might have to swap over some of my hub parts or something.
Any help would be appreciated. |

| I mistyped in my original post. My bike is a 1999. The donor wheels are off of an anniversary addition. A 2003 I believe. I don't know where the hell I got 15th from. It should have been 100th. I guess I was just spacing out at work.
These rims were never used. They were removed from the bike before it was taken out of the show room. I am also able to get them for next to nothing. | |

In 2000 Harley went to sealed bearing and larger diameter axel, 1" I believe. Your 99 has 3/4 axel and raced bearings repackable I believe the hubs are the same just change the bearings in the 03 wheels might have to cut a new spacer also........I've made a fatboy wheel and a 80's Vader wheel off FLH Classic work for my heritage.........Hope this helps............Good Luck.......Rob.

| Thanks Rob,
That does help a little. As long as I know it's doable fairly easily without having to go to a machine shop or anything.
Thanks,
Dave | |

| Axle is different size,
You can change axle and lower forks to the larger diameter like on the 03's or change the bearings and race on the wheels to fit 3/4. | |
