I been thinking bout seeing if the 120/70/19 inch tire will fit on our rims, may not look great with fender on, gap will be larger, but should look great without fender or with some creative fender work to make a tight fit. I believe it shouldn't be a problem to run radials but I am not sure, about the rim, not sure, but I'm guessin not with the stock spacers and we have 1 inch axles, not sure of the vrod. my biggest problem with going with the radial of the VROD is that it may not fit out rim width?
Will a 19" V-rod wheel fit my 07 Bob, using my stock spacers and axle? Anyone tried yet?

I think it can be done. The v-rod does have a 1" axle and since Harley sells a fork brace that fits both Dyna and v-rod we know the forks are spaced equally apart. I would ask to look at the parts books as I imagine you would need the v-rod spacers. Please post results if you get it done!
I have a link to a fitment chart http://www.hdwheels.com/Product.htmThey say you need a 3.00 - 3.75 rim. a V-rod tire is a tubeless radial which might raise other issues............

I have a v-rod Brembo caliper. Bolted right up on my 06 Superglide.........
Shepard, is the diameter of your disk on the cast wheel the same as the disk
on the 06 laced wheel (if you know)??
Diameter of the rotor on my 06 laced wheel is right at 11 3/4".
Tried to measure the diam of vRod rotor at the dealer today,
seemed like 11 3/4", but it is hard to get an accurate read with the
wheel on.
How does the Brembo caliper match up to your disk??
Are you getting full bite from the pads??
I should have been more specific. Before the V-rod switched to brembos they used the same 4 piston calipers that dynas have. The calipers are interchangable. What i meant was If you were to bolt on a V-rod rim to your dyna, the hub offset is likely to be different, causing the rotor and the caliper to not line up.
