Street glide rims

looking at some take off rims from a late model street glide . not sure if they changed the shaft size ? for the bearing . i would like to get a set for my e glide . Thanks in advance guys

Ya I found some not sure if the diameter on the bearing shaft is the same or if they will fit an 01 model or not .

I think all the early ones as you stated have the one inch . but looking in the harley catalog it seems they went to a metric size axel. dont know if its 06 and up or 08 and up that went to a metric size?

They did go metric... 25mm axle...not sure when ,but I think in '09...25mm is damn close to an inch

08 and up are 25mm

Paul,the part number for my rear axle on the '03 is 41056-02....your '01 may still have the 3/4" axle....

The wheels from '08 and up are called 25mm, but are actually 1" for us (the rest of the world now only recognizes metric). Since Harley's wheels are made in Australia, they carry the metric designation.

Paul, I have my original set of '08 StreetGlide rims if you're still looking.

Ya I am I'm just wondering now if I can fit that size tire on my swing arm I think the street glides run a bigger rear tire than the 01 electra

The front wheel is 3.5" wide, back is 5.5"

I might have to go to the narrow belt and pulley with diffrent spacer . Like the later model set up. Sounds like work . Lol

There is a difference between 1" and 25mm....not much but a little....here's a conversion
1" = 25.4 mm, so if it is a 25mm hole, the 1 inch axle won't go thru it. 25 mm =0.984252 inches or .015748 smaller than 1 inch.

yep ran the math as well . i can turn down the shaft on the lathe and leave a step for the spacers and clamps for the mounting on the front axle . like i said to much work . lol the wheels i have now on the bike are nice and i spent the time to polish the edge of the wheels to a very nice finish . ill live whith them

yea that will work, it'll only wobble at high speeds.

Just use new bearings. The wheels are the same just get bearings to fit your axles.

The axles designated as 25mm are in fact 1". H-D didn't want to have to make the designation "25.4mm" to further confuse the home market. As for using these wheels on smaller axles (3/4"), there are several bearing mfr's. that make this bearing a very inexpensive ($10 ea.) conversion......no need to machine anything.

I helped a friend do this conversion on his '09 Dyna (25mm axle) when he bought a bargain set of Performance Machine wheels that were made for a 3/4" axle. We swapped bearings in 15 minutes.
