Default Road King Wheel Confusion

After searching around I am more confused thanow when I started so I thought I would just stsrting a thread with my specific question. I am looking for a 21 inch spoked wheel for my 2012 road king and have ran across the Ultima king spoke wheel. I can't seem to verify if there is one that will fit my year. I assume the 1" axle model will but the descriptions are all over the place throughout the Web so please help if anyone knows for sure.

the part number I'm coming up with for the all chrome model is 37-542

I did a google search and the size showing most frequently is 21" x 3.5". I found one on JP Cycles...

Hope this helps.

thanks! I definatly know the 21x3.5 is what I need, the descriptions for the wheel on various sites are all over the place so I am hoping someone has one for a newer model to verify before I order it and it won't fit

You will need 25mm bearings for your bike.

thanks, so the 1 inch axle version I listed will not work? I know 25mm I'd a bit smaller

In original Harley wheels 25mm bearings interchange with 1" ones, as they have the same OD, however to ensure you get the right wheel and bearings I suggest you contact the supplier. They should know there are bikes out there with both those sizes of bearing, also the earlier 3/4" bikes!

I agree, I contacted the supplier and they said they offer no Tech support other than what was listed on their site

I suggest you find a different supplier! There are a few HDF sponsors who supply wheels, might be worth looking them up.

You might want to check the brand web site if they have more technical info.

Their pricing seems attractive, but have you considered other offerings if the smaller bearings are not available from them? I have 21" fat spokes front wheel on my '13 King.

Or check with one of our sponsors, HogPro. They sell many brands of wheels and should be able to help out with tech questions.
