Default Switching out Rims

I have a 15 SGS. I'm wanting to switch out with the black talon rims off a 19 RGS. Talon rims are 19" front and 18" rear. HD dealers in my area are no help as they want to "see the bike" before they can tell if it will work or what I will need. Problem is....I need to know before I make the purchase of the Talons. Any help would be appreciated!

Should fit with no issues., both bikes should have ABS. I’m not an expert but I do not know of any fitment issues. Where in NC are you located? I have good relationships with a couple dealers and Indy’s that I could recommend that would help out without seeing the bike.
Good Luck.

I bet the 18" rear has a different side wall ratio an has about the same overall height. I wouldn't expect a problem

There is a set of NTO on ebay for $1400.00. They fit all touring models from 2009 to current.

I had a set of HD Agitator wheels on my 14 SG with no problems, 19" Agitator front wheel, 18" Agitator rear wheel, My 14 SG didn't have ABS, so I had to change to NON-ABS bearings, you should be fine with 19' front and 18' rear Talon wheels, I would put new Bearings in them though, you will need the ABS bearings, Personally I use All ***** Racing Bearings, In my opinion, that's what I would suggest doing.
