Thank you sir.
On the topic of tires, I am also running a budget friendly set of mag rims, Deuce in the back and Rocker C in front. Much cheaper than the very popular Sportster/Dyna mags.

I don't really have a thread on the swap. Deuce wheel is a direct swap as long as it's not newer than 2005, with 3/4" bearings.

​​​​​​Front wheel has 25 mm bearings, I used 3/4" adapters from La Choppers, and a custom spacer on the brake side. Brake disc lines up correctly with the caliper without any shimming.

Especially the front wheel is really nice, five spokes like a classic invader, and a very small and neat hub on the non brake side.

Thank you for the update.
Post some pictures when you can. My SIL has a 2002 WG and is wanting to upgrade as you have done!

Send me a PM if you need specific help with the wheel swap

My apologies to the OP for taking the thread a bit off topic
