doese any one know if this will fit my sportie
i can make the spacers and whatever but just concerned about the hub width??? ie wide glide

Mike to wide a hub for your narrow glide fr end what would fit would be a xl1200custom 21" front wheel but shit these are hard to find but I'll keep my eyes open.

o bugger lucky i asked first
i was wondering if the hub was wider that sucks arse better to find out now rather than wen it turned up

thanks doug

hey. it would work with a mid glide front end . might be a cheaper option if you can find some trees.

Or you could lace it up to a stock Sporty front hub.

humm thats a good idea

Doug has a hub fetish try him first. Nobody beats his prices.

well doug ??
anything floating around??

No you can't lace it up to a sporty hub as the holes drilled in the wideglide rim are at the wrong angle I will check the width of a wide glide hub tomorrow,hmmm a wideglide hub narrowed down would look cool.

Well excuse me What type of rim did they run on the 1987 FXR low rider custom? Or was that unique to that model also Doug?

Yes fxlr's had a narrow glide hub and 21" rim same as the xl1200c apart from the later hubs having sealed bearings which come in three different sizes 3/4",1" and the latest hubs 25mm and pulled the bearings out of a late model hub the other and they are a diferent width to the 3/4 + 1".

dam, i re spoked a wide glide 40 spoke rim on my single disc alloy sporty hub.. how bad am i?

Your one bad MOFO Jon.

look at the angle of the spoke's coming from the rim should be on an angle coming from the rim,who built the wheel jon checked 2 parts books different part# number for both rims I worked in a bicycle shop in a previous life and went on truckloads of wheel building course's god I have lost count of how many motorcycles + cycle wheels I ve built.

ah, a wheel builder in Auck that 2nd gen doing it, THE MAN as i was told... does it for most bike shops up here...

zoom in, can u see anything?





careful, i might break oiut a bit of MJ, I'm bad!
