Ok so this has been talked about but looking to to get all the information and moat post I see are several years old and incomplete.
The plan:
To put enforcer wheel on my 2007 roadglide!!
So I know this much brake calipers have to change and I have to use a 25mm axle..

What I want to see and know
Can I us either abs or non abs and what spacers have guys used also can I use my factor master cylinder with brembo calipers
Also some pictures would be great of the conversion. Any and all help is much appreciated thanks in advanced

The only difference between the abs and non abs wheel is a bearing. The Enforcer wheel is the second late wheel I have put on my 2002 bike. I used my stock 1" axle, stock Harley 9247 1" bearings and made 2 new spacers .780 wide. Kept the stock master cylinder and line and installed the Brembos. You can just machine your spacers down to .780" wide.
The other option is to buy an '08 axle, 2 outer spacers and a 9276a (6205 2rs) bearing.

A lot of your Bearings have the same od and cross section they just make them with Metric Id or larger or Smaller sizes a 6205 2PS might have 2 to 3 different Id sizes it just depend how you order them with what id 1' or 3/4 or 5/8 or metric


This is the Old Detroit Ball Bearing name You Can still order from them If you have a credit card a phone and Interweb too. you can Probably you can get a sizing and applications catalog for cup and cone and regular bearings. a 6205 is a common bearing just different IDS

I went with the 1" stuff because of all the failures with the 25mm. The Harley 9247 is a quality proprietary piece made by a top manufacturer. They don't sit flush nor are they required to do so. The .100"-.120" they stick out in no way affects the performance of the bearing, some which have lasted a 100k+ miles. The bike seems lighter in the front with the newer wheel.
The 6205 series bearings with the 1" bore were not readily available a few years back like they are now, that's why I chose the 9247.

Looks awesome... Can't wait... What size was your spacers...

I'm not sure what year they changed to the newer style Brembo calipers and DOT 4 brake fluid. My 2001 had the older style and used DOT 5 fluid. If your bike uses DOT 5 fluid and has the old style calipers you will need new calipers or get some used ones and replace the seals. DOT 4 and 5 are not compatible and should not be mixed.

I just Googled a 2007 and they do have the older style calipers. They will not work with the rotors on the enforcer wheels. I got lucky and found a new set of Brembos on ebay that had never had fluid in them. I called the company that makes them and was told if they had never had fluid in them they were compatible with DOT 5 fluid.

Hello I’m trying to do this upgrade but I’m running into a couple issues. I just want to make sure I’m doing it right. I have the enforcer wheel I believe it’s off of a 17. Either way it had abs bearings. Those are out and I installed 9247 bearings with inner sleeve from the 16” wheel. The inner sleeve is not tight between the bearings. Feels like around 1/8” of play. I would think this is an issue correct?

I originally used the inner sleeve from the 19” wheel and both bearings stick out. Potentially the wheel could shift over one way right? I pressed in the left side till bottomed out, then when pressing the right side in it pushes left side out. I then pressed back the other way so left is bottomed out again. Just doesn’t seem right.

Any help is appreciated thanks.

As long as both bearings have a tight pressed fit into the wheel itself then the spacers on the axle shaft between forks and wheel will keep them in place and not let your wheel side shift at all, just need to make for certain they both have an od circumference specced to correct size to be a pressed fit in to center wheel hub/axle hole and are correct id to accept your wheel axle too...I found only thing that needs to be converted is the brembo calipers to accept the bigger rotor cus old style ones won't clear and stock wheel spacers need turned down to just over .775ish too , to accommodate the slightly wider wheel
