Default Night Train 21" wheel on FXDC

Ok so here is the back story, Hit a pot hole a couple weeks back and bent the hell out of my outer front rim. Guy i work with has a brand new 21" night train wheel and tire. Will this fit ? I have searched on the forum but no luck... Started the winter strip down of the bike last night and want it to look nothing like it does now next spring.

Thanks

Don't know for sure but I doubt it, knowing Harleys they'll have made the axel size different, plus the front fender won't fit, unless your going without, I came across a site recently that had loads of these type of questions and answers on it but I can't find it now, all else fails ask a Harley dealer they should know.

Would it be an idea to buy stainles spokes for a 21 inch rim, and then lace it up with your stock dyna hub? Then you would get a nice wheel allso

That was my next question can I use my super glide hub re-lace it with the Night train out loop? I want to make sure my fender will still work as well. i am thinking they are both 40 spoke, I am going to call the HD dealer and see what the difference is between my super glide hub and the soft tail one. he only wants $100 for it and i know i will have that in just a new outer hub for my stock 19" wheel.

I relaced my stock 19" wheel hub to a 21" hoop using the sporty spokes if I remember correctly, I still have the assembled wheel w/ tire hanging around as a spare.

You can re-lace your hub to the 21" rim. The stock fender will work just fine. When I did mine, I used the spokes that are for a 21" sportster front wheel. If you've got good people at the parts counter at your dealer, they'll help you with this. If they're rigid, unable to think outside the box types, they'll tell you that you can't do it.
