Wheel take-offs

Lots of guys selling chromed H-D wagon wheels on ebay, just be sure you get the right bearing size. A lot of those wheels come without any bearings at all. Watch shipping price charged too, can vary from $15 to $60 per wheel.
I'm going tubeless on my RK Classic, and bought a take-off wagon wheel (black) with the 1" bearings my 2004 needs, looks great. Later bikes need 25mm bearings, so be sure you get the right ones.
good luck, and post some pics when you're done.

Where would I find out the required bearing spec? I ask because you cite a couple of specs that are very close in size; 1" = 25.4mm.

I'm thinking about looking for some take-off wheels at tax-return time. I have a '10 FLHR with laced wheels, but was thinking about either the stock Road King or Street Glide wheels (and getting them chromed).
Would likely coordinate this with new tires.
How would I likely find local folks who bought new and may be interested in replacing their wheels? Dealers?
Any ideas appreciated.

You have 25mm axles on your bike. You would need to know if your bike has ABS or not, you would want to look for the same in street glide wheels. As long as the wheels you buy have the same type of bearing(ABS or not) you can use the same wheel spacers.
