The springer front rims are not interchangeable with a regular front end. The hubs have a different offset. I bent my front rim on my 06 springer custom and found a used rim from an 06 nightrain and thought I could just throw my tire on and go...nope lol. I had to have a guy take my hub from my original wheel and lace it on the nightrain rim...worked perfect after that. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy that bike but like every body has said go in educated with your eyes open so you know what you're looking and if you like it try to make a deal. Damn it I want a springer again now.

Can say we have put more than a few miles on with a good ol' Softail Wide Glide wheel and rotor simply bolted on...
But, The Tire is centered with the Proper stuff... Not with Wide Glide Wheel...
