Wheel cross reference? fatboy to wide glide
I remember seeing some posts about a cross reference but can't locate the thread. \\; I have an 05 wide glide (3/4") rear axle and want a disc rear wheel. \\; I found an 05 fat boy wheel but don't know about offset, axle diameter, etc. \\; Any knowledge shared would be appreciated. \\; Thanks Dawg

Mostly this should fit. One thing you will want to look at is the pulley, and brake rotor-to-caliper fit. The Dyna pulleys use a slightly smaller (?) center hub diameter than the Softail, so it wouldn't be hub-centric. A spacer could be machined to fill in the difference, or you might be able to use the Softail pulley- it's the same tooth count and width. You will need to check belt alignment, too.
If you have the new wheel, pull the old off, and start fitting the new. It will sort itself out pretty quickly.
Good luck, hope this helps!

It should bolt right up, as suggested use your dyna pulley, I don't think you'll need any adapters, even the spacers should work from your dyna, rotors are the same on either

The reason I'd recommend fitting the drive sprocket correctly is that it IS the drive sprocket (pulley), and is subject to some pretty strong forces from the engine. Better to rely on the hub to keep it centered than on the bolts.
