Default 2011 wheels onto a 2003 heritage softail

Hi guys,
I've been offered a good deal on a pair of wire wheels from a 2011 Heritage softail. Question is, are they a straight fit onto my 2003 heritage softail, or do I require a change of sprockets, brake discs and/or spindles/ bearings. Thanks

They are not a direct fit, they have larger diameter bearings for the larger axles...

Hello old chap, from down South! As dfwhockey17 points out they are not a straight swap, although they may fit with suitable bearings. Current wheels have 25mm axles, your bike is probably 3/4", however the OD of those two sizes is the same and H-D sells a bearing kit that will supply all the parts. For a better reply you should ask in the Softail section, where there will be more experts on hand.
