Default wheels again

hi folks i recently bought a 1997 dyna convertible and i love it to bits but it has spoked wheels ,,, my mate has a fxdxt 2001 with mag wheels and would love to swap .Is this a strait swap over or is their new bearing and spacers needed as the bikes are 4 years apart

my bike has the 4.5" conversion already so the wheels in theory should swap but will they



cheers

Dyna Convertible is one of the best Harley's ever produced. Too bad they didn't stick with it.

The 97 has 3/4" bearings & axles the 01 has 1" , I think there's a conversion kit to to use the 3/4" bearings and correct spacer with the later wheels but don't know where to source it sorry.
