Question Wheel swap question.

My son really likes the mags on my '01 Super Glide and I like spokes like he has on his '04 Low Rider...the front ends of both bikes look identical. Anyone know if this is a straight swap? We will need to swap out the rear pulleys as well because his is black and mine is not, What else is involved?

Thanks!

04-05 had larger diameter front axle, they will interchange if you replace the bearings on both front wheels. Might be more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks for the info. General consensus is that this is a one-to-one swap.

His LR is down for repairs (he high-sided a curve in July) and he wants to have powder coated mags. I told him we could swap if it was not too much trouble because I am more old-skool and I like spokes. I know we will need new bolts for the pulley swaps, (on his dime) but anything more complicated other than replacing worn bearings that need replacing anyway is not gonna happen.
