Put a pull tape thru the axle hole and check the width. Probably going to find it's apx 1" longer then yours with the growing width and diameter tire Harley stuck under these bikes. Sure there is someone on here that will pop in.

It is very likely it is a swap for your bike, however it has #9267 bearings, whereas yours has #9247. I think your bike has 1" ID bearings, while the softails used 3/4". I have a softail cast wheel in my Glide, which fits just fine, after I swapped to 1" bearings. However I had to bore the central hole through the hub, to take the larger OD internal bearing spacer.

H-D sells a kit that includes a pair of 1" berarings plus the correct spacer tube, which I used. So it will probably fit, but you will have to spend a little effort and cash to make it do so.

Besides needing to enlarge the center of the heritage wheel for your 2003 1" axle/spacer sleeve, the heritage has a slightly different offset than the RK wheel.

The wheel will sit more to the right than your RK wheel does now by approx .09-.100" (You gain that space on the left and reduce it on the right so it has the appearance of more movement) That may be OK for you
