My 2002 FLHRSEI currently has 18 inch wire wheels, and I want to start searching for the correct 16 inch Centerline wheels for it.
In the Accessories catalog as well as in the original parts catalog these wheels (both front and rear) show up with two different parts numbers, one for the Softail and one for Touring bikes. The wheels were stock on 2005 CVO Fatboy as well as the 2002/3 SERKs.
I know the Softails have 3/4 inch axles whereas the Touring has 1 inch, and the wheels, according to the catalogs came with bearings and spacers already installed, hence the need for different parts numbers.
But if I was to replace the bearings and spacer anyhow, would the wheels actually be the same? It looks like the front Softail version has bolt holes for brake disks on both sides, so that would also indicate they are the same.
Has anyone ever compared them?
