48 axle size
Hi Guys,
what size axles are on the 48?
I'm trying to determine if I could put those wheels on a fatbob.
Thanks,
Lou

I think that they're 25mm but not 100% sure...it doesn't matter anyway. The o.d. of the bearings are the same so if the axle sizes are different you'll just need to get new bearings that fit your Fat Bob axle.

Thanks, that's what I figured, but thought I would ask the experts anyway.

The above sticky titled " Harley Davidson sportster history"
has this for the last entry 2005: * Swing arm & rear wheel re-designed to accommodate 1" rear axle.
