RK Spokes to Mags

RK Spokes to Mags
I just recently got a new RKC. I am not a big fan of the spokes and would like to convert to mags for front and back. I really like the mags that come with the regular RK. Without going for a machine shop fitting, what are the steps (type of wheel, bearing issues/fitament, brake issues/fitament) that I should consider?

What year bike? If you have say a 09, 10, 11 you can simply take the mags from a same year and swap them. Things to consider are ABS as you would need ABS bearings on one side of each wheel. HD sells wheel installation kits with the proper bearings and spacers and whatnot. If you grab a wheel from a different year then you would need different spacers, bearings, etc.

The bike is a 2011 RKC and it has anti-lock brakes. I believe that you are saying that the mag wheels from a standard 2009-11 RK w/o anti-lock will require a "kit" to fit. But I believe that you are also saying that the mag wheels from a 2008 or older will not fit?
