86 FXR Wheel Help

Would this fit an 86 FXR?

http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

From a 00+ softail, and has 3/4" bearings. Right now I have an old RK wheel and hate the brake Disc on it, has the far apart bolts and is rusting. I bought an HD 19" Thunderstar for the front and I think this slotted wheel will look good in the rear.

In terms of fitment, it shouldn't be any wider than the wheel on it now?

It may well be wider depending on the year of softie it came from.

Any wheel from 2000 and up will have sealed bearings as opposed to the Timken bearings that your bike has. IF it will fit you will need new axle spacers as well.
