Default 2009 Softtail Custom wheel on a 2003 FXDWG?
My wife and I were out for a ride the other night when she hit a pothole and dented the front rim on her 2003 Wide Glide. It just so happens that her boss has a takeoff front wheel from his 2009 Softtail Custom. Does anyone know if I can make it fit?
Thanks in advance!

Not the answer you're looking for I'm sure.... but you can make anything 'fit'... it's just the amount of money you're willing to spend.

Probably a big difference in rims though... guessing the Dyna is a standard 19x2.5... and the softtail might be a 16 or 17 x 3.5.

Both will be 21" rims, bearings will be different, swap bearings and it should work.
