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.

Actually... the Wheel is simply spoked offset, on the Late MoCo springers, On Pre-war??? I never noticed any offset to the spoke Job... in a Pinch you can put alot of miles on a late one with a regular [straight] wheel...BTDT

I just go by what works... not part numbers... Don't know about the hub spoke holes drilled different in order to Offset the Rim...
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...

I Know diddly Squat about the Frot end you picture... My Youngest has the Early new Springer... with the dirt bike Fender..
O.E. Wheel back on currently... Guess you'll just have to Take it on Faith that we BTDT... and had a Single Disk, Wide Glide 21" on his Springer... for a number of Miles.... As I said... Not Centered... But... Rode OK.... It is a Springer after all... Not an FXR!!!!!!
