I have a 1996 springer 21" that i was told by someone at a swap meet this would fit. after trying to put it on it is not the right fit. can anyone tell me if its for a newer model or even for a springer at all so i can try to sell it?

Thank you!

 

When you say not the right fit, are you referring to the bearing axle diameter?

The wheel appears to be a standard 40 spoke soft tail rim with a HD hub with a single disc rotor.

Usually you can get the right size bearings for your axle.

 

I actually didn't try to put it on because once I looked at my hub it was clearly different, mine also has a cable for the speedo that goes to it. I have read you can only use springer wheels on springers due to an offset. i have been looking around and it seems to look alot like the 99 and down for a non springer but i am trying to confirm that so what happind to me doesn't happen to someone else.

 

That is correct springer's have a different offset. I had a 96 Bad boy and had ran into the same findings.

 

it is for 99 down "has tapered bearings" and 3/4" axle will fit fxst or dyna wide glide. 84-99 to be exact

 

i just pulled the bearings and they are 3/4" tapered bearings. so i should be able to sell these as 84-99 fx with no issues?

 

fxst or fxdwg

 

nice, Thank you very much!
