Ensuring Proper Fitment on Your V-Twin
While this Harddrive 48-spoke wide wheel is compatible with a broad range of Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle models, it's engineered for custom fitment. This means riders should anticipate the possibility of needing to adjust axle spacing, or rotor and pulley spacing to achieve optimal alignment and performance. Always measure your current wheel hubs before ordering to ensure the best possible fit for your specific V-twin, especially for earlier models (1984-1999) which may require specific ¾" Timken bearings.
