Default How to tell what 18" wheel was used FLHX

So, i just purchaed a 2007 FLHX. The previous owner has an 18" spoked wheel. Its in ugly shape, so i want to swap it out, and while i at it go 21/18.

My question is, is there an external way to figure out which axle/bearing size was used (retained the 07 axle by swapping bearings or switched to the larger axle?) so i can figure out what wheelset to order.

If i do have to pull stuff, do i just need to measure the axle itself and see if its 25mm or 25.4mm?

And odd question, is are there any other bolt on wheel options other than the 30 or s0 i can find on ebay and jpcycles or whatever. I came from buells, and am not really versed on baggers

Probably better to pull the axle and measure it. Dozens of wheel manufactures out there. Costal Moto, WanaRyd Wheels, Eastern Performance usually have some decent deals

It's most likely that your wheel has 1" bearings, but as suggested pull the axle and measure it, as a 25mm axle will also fit your sliders.
