Default 2005 Road King Classic Wheels Interchangeable With 2014 or Later?

Are the 2014 Road King Classic wheels interchangeable with a 2005 Road King Classic? Need help...

Must be a trick question? There is no CLASSIC for 2014. However, if you're referring to the cast aluminum wheel on the 2014, probably not with the different forks, etc. You definitely could get a 2013 wheel to work on your bike with a 25mm axle and non abs bearings. I have a 2013 Street Glide wheel on my 2006 RK.

Thanks for the reply, thats the answer I was looking for. Your are correct about no 2014 Classic's (my bad). I should have said 2014 Road King. I like the classic look with the white walls; however, it gets old cleaning them all the time. Looking for a nice set of wheels with black tires (like the Street Glide wheels you have).

There are several things that will help you in your quest! All bikes from 2008 have metric wheel bearings and all touring bikes from 2009 have much wider rear wheels than your bike. '08 wheels will fit, if you swap to 1" bearings, but no rear wheels from '09 will go in. For a simple swap any wheels to '07 will fit. Cheaper and simpler to change tyres, unless you want alloy wheels.
