Hey Ive been trying to get mag wheels for my fxbb. Im buying a set of 13 spoke from a 19 sporty Ive seen people make the conversions just wondering if anyone has tips or tricks to help. I found a spacer kit for the swap at tmf cycles but hes had a few people tell him the rear caliper and disc dont line up properly and some people never make complaints. Any information would be great especially about the fact the the rear wheel is gonna have to be flipped directionally
I put sporster 9 spokes from a 2019 on my 18 fxbb and it took a little bit of engineering to get done. I bought my spacer from tracker/die. The front fit easy but the rear need spacers cut for the drive side. I also installed a chain kit during the process. Just be prepared to spend extra trying to find right spacers and for the sprocket also.

so ironically I thought I was getting 13 spoke but these r 9 spoke off a 19 sporty also below is the link to the conversion kit I found. The guy said the kit fits the fronts perfect but some people had problems with the disc and caliper alignment in the rear did you run into tht? Also would all the spacers you got work with the belt configuration? If so any chance you know What the size of spacers I need or maybe I could find a way to get the same order you put in wth that guy?
I did not have a problem with the rear rotor or cailper, I believe i used the stock spacers on that side. The put 2 spacers together for the drive side and i dont remember the length. As for the belt sprocket im not sure because i switched to chain and that was pain to space that out also.
sorry if none of this helps. You will have to mock everything up and measure. But that kit from tmf cycles should be close

i figured between that kit and the stock spacers I could make it work. You use your fxbb axle too? With or without a sleeve
