Which factory cast wheels will fit '98 RK Classic?
I am considering changing out the laced wheels on my '98 Road King Classic for a set of factory cast wheels. Which models/years of wheels should I be watching for to get an easy swapout?
Yup. The 8 spoke cast rims should work just fine. Most of them came in black, although in 2003 they did make some in gold for the 100th Anniversary models. I've seen some people chrome them also and they look pretty decent.
When I was considering a wheel swap on my '04, I spent about 10-15 minutes perusing the parts books for several years before and after my model year to check on the bearing and pulley part numbers and noting the differences, if any. With that information I knew what would be a bolt on and what would need new bearings.
