Might be a dumb question but where the rims directional or did it not matter how they were mounted?

Wheel doesn’t matter but the hub matters cuz there are two different size bearings due to abs

Did you have to tilt your front fender? I heard it causes your paint to bubble if you don’t. Just curious because I’m adding the same set up on my Harley.
@MotorHead9633 жыл бұрын
Yes I find out about that after install What I did. I drilled out mounting holes just a bit and tilted fender from the back upwards

One more thing, after you do this tire won’t touch fender but when tile picks up small rocks front the street they will scrape the fender... but it’s no biggie I did 10k miles like that. But finally installed spacers when I took my H-D off-roading Now fender sits 1/2” higher but rocks won’t touch it.

IT MIGHT BE BIT DIFFERENT THAN MINE 2011, I USED OEM BEARINGS AND NO SPACERS. AND FOR THE FENDER I HAD TO DRILL OUT MOUNTING HOLES IN THE FENDER AND MOVED IT UP JUST A BIT.

Thanks for the video man. I’ve got a 2013 Electra Glide Classic. I was wanting to do this too. Question: did everything match up mechanically and work ok? Is this exactly what you have to do to install-no spacers needed? Also, did you keep the 16” stock rear the same or change that too?
@MotorHead9634 жыл бұрын
Yes the rear its stock, its not really visible so I didn't bother to change it. On the front everything worked out perfectly I just moved bearings from original wheel to the new one and just had to drill out fender mounting holes so the tire won't rub. pretty easy. already did one 1000 miles on this setup and no problem whatsoever .
