Open disc
5 Stock disc screws (3762M) and 5 disc washers (6966M)
NOTE: Models equipped with dual front brakes and models being equipped with a wheel with dual brake mounting surfaces require twice as many screws/washers (10 total screws or 2 chrome screw kits if available).
INSTALLATION
1. Remove existing front wheel assembly. Save axle, axle nut, brake disc, and wheel spacers for kit installation. Refer to FRONT WHEEL in service manual. For FLSTC and FLSTN Models: Discard moon-style hub cap. For FXSTD: Discard tapered spacer.
NOTE
Install short valve stem (43157-83A) included in the installation kit. Discard all other valve stems.
2. See Figure 2. Install valve stem assembly (L ) on wheel. Refer to TIRES in service manual.
NOTE
Install the primary bearing first using appropriate service manual and WHEEL BEARING REMOVER/INSTALLER.
The side with the machined groove on the hub face is the primary bearing side for all kits except Kits 41681-07 and 40818-08.
For Kit 41681-07: Install the wheel so that the hub markings are on the left side and the machined groove is on the right side of the motorcycle.
  • For 2006 and later FXDWG Models: When correctly installed, the tire will be 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in) off of center, compared to the fender.
  • For 2007 and later FX Softail and 2008 and later FXDWG Models: The left side of the wheel is the primary bearing side.
  • For 2006 and earlier FX Softail and 2007 and earlier FXDWG Models: The right side of the wheel is the primary bearing side.
For Kit 40818-08:
  • Proper installation of this kit requires the separate purchase of two floating brake discs (44343-01 for 2004 - 2007 models and 44553-06A (stock) or 41500012 (polished) for 2008 and later models) and a tire (43371-07 on 2004-2008 models and 44026-09A on 2009-later models). The left side of the wheel has machined DOT markings to identify it as the primary bearing side.
  • For 2008 and later Touring: Install bearing shim (43903-08) under the primary bearing.
NOTICE
Do not re-use brake disc/rotor screws. Re-using these screws can result in torque loss and damage to brake components. (00319c)
3. Assemble wheel installation kit components and brake disc(s) to wheel, using the appropriate service parts table. Refer to FRONT WHEEL in service manual.
4. For FLSTC and FLSTN Models: Install wheel kit and right hand wheel spacer provided in installation kit. Refer to FRONT WHEEL in service manual. For FXSTD Models: Install wheel kit, stock wheel spacer and right side wheel spacer provided in installation kit in place of the tapered spacer discarded in Step 1. Refer to FRONT WHEEL in service manual. For FXSTS Models: Install wheel kit, stock wheel spacers and spacer provided in installation kit between the left side wheel spacer and the left fork. For all other models: Install previously removed wheel spacers. Refer to FRONT WHEEL in service manual.
5. Install front wheel (1), stock axle and stock axle nut. Refer to FRONT WHEEL in service manual.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Chrome parts must be maintained regularly to verify that they keep their original shine and luster.
  1. Clean heavily-soiled wheel surfaces using Harley-Davidson Wheel and Tire Cleaner, applied with Harley Wheel and Spoke Brush.
  2. Thoroughly clean chrome with a good quality chrome cleaner, such as Harley Bright Chrome Cleaner.
  3. After cleaning and polishing, seal the finish with a good quality sealer, such as Harley Glaze Polish and Sealant.
