Thanks, Dr. I think now i know why after a tire change, my wheel never is in the middle of the fairing since. I bet they did one side 😢 cheep and charged full price, but it won't aline. I've asked about bushings and was told they put it all back together like it come apart and nothing was left out!
Thanks for making this video! Theres always tons of stock wheels for sale on line. This is really helpful. In my opinion harley-davidson makes the absolute best shop manuals! As a motorcycle nerd I'm impressed with the intricate detail of even the smallest components. Even specialty tool part #'s.
Yes doc Had the same deal with FXDX wheels for my DX . Asked all the questions got all the answers. But the nice bloke sent me 09 sportster wheels. Yeh. Wasn’t that a headache. Bearing hole not deep enough. So I had to make up all new spacers for the 3/4 axle… as the wheel was 25mm not 1” .. but there on. Now I like some 05 softy wheels for my 08 street glide ….But I know the drill. It’ll all start again so the wheels have to be cheap to compensate all the machining
Great info on ABS wheels. Here's a question. I put stock harley flat out bars (engine guard) on my 21 street glide. I really like the looks but I wish they were a bit wider from end to end. I think the stock ones are about 31 inches with the end caps on. I would like to add about another four inches on each side so my legs can spread out a bit. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks Doc.
As always, Doc great info. Would love to talk to the engineer that made putting or checking air in the rear wheel a challenge.
You’re not alone, they made it “interesting” ….Doc
Thank you for the info on the wheel bearing keep your videos coming

Run a Straight edge off your front sprocket and check if your chain is tracking square. If not you might wanna re asses your spacer alignment
Thanks, you saved me some grief and money. I was going to do a wheel swap
On my 2013 road king and now I will do a lot more research.
Glad I could help….Doc
My 2009 had ABS! And the Chrome Spoked Factory Wheels from 2009 ABS fit my 2021 Road Glide (With ABS). 🏍💨🏍💨

Wheels are always a challenge, I know….Doc
@ yeh but it was fun doing it BUT I would have liked to know it was a problem before I went to put the 3/4 bearings in that was 4mm wider lol.
Best Tech on the Net!
You’re too kind….Doc

I would first look at Old School ways of adding foot pegs…Doc
Good information now I have a 2022 tri glide do they have ABS sensors on the rear or just on the front thank you
Yes you have sensors in the rear but unlike 2wheels. A tone gear on each side with a Hall effect sensor…Doc
@ thank you
My 2013 Slim doesn’t have ABS. Apparently Harley Davidson used up old stuff first. It’s an easy thing to check, no sensors on the wheels.
👍👍
I'll stick to my Panhead thank you very much!
Understand. Enjoy your ride. Doc
Hi Doc, is there any difference in the spacer between the bearings inside the hub?
Yes…Doc
My 2019 street glide doesn’t have abs…. Never really thought about it but is that odd?
Optional back then….Doc
Doc Harley! I KNOW him!
So good to hear from you…Doc
🤜🤛♥️💛😈
Just remember that it's all the same except when it's different. 😢
Yea,
Remember the old "what fits what" books?
If made now it would be the size of an encyclopedia! 😅
😆….Doc
@@jamesberry276 I still have one ! and a Custom Chopper Cookbook from Easyriders
Manual? This is my manual. 😁
🤦♂️…..Doc
