There are only two different width front hubs. Wide or narrow. FLD front end is designed for wide hubs. A FLH wheel will bolt right in. Although a wide hub, a FLS (Softail Heritage etc) is for Softail front ends only and would be a nightmare to get to work. A Wide Glide uses a wide hub and would also fit.

Getting a narrow hub to work in a front end designed for a wide hub is probably possible after a bunch of work but a FLH front wheel is cheap and plentiful on eBay. Good luck and keep posting, with pictures of course.......
