Front wheel sleeve wtf??
I just pulled the bearings out of my front wheel on my 2012 Ultra, they are in good shape, just replacing them because I know this year is known for failure and I'm replacing the back bearings anyways. SO....HERE IN LIES THE ISSUE.
Once I removed the bearings I noticed the spacer sleeve was a sloppy fit into the wheel on the left side, the wheel is not worn, seems to be machined like this. But when I removed the right side. HOLY SH*+!! There is a pretty noticeable difference in the sizes of the r and l of the wheel? IS THIS NORMAL? I understand the sleeve is just that, a sleeve but by this design if a bearing fails you are SOL. IS THIS SLEEVE AND WHEEL HUB CORRECT? Is one side of the wheel supposed to be larger than the other and is the sleeve supposed to be basically a piece of schedule 40 black pipe. The bike only had 100 miles on it when I got it so.....HELP

Follow the Brake disc side (if dual disc in front, then LEFT Side), so for example, Sportster Rear's "Primary" Side would be the LEFT.
