Default Fat Spoke Wheels

I'm looking for a 21/16 set of fat spoke wheels for a 1997 Heritage softail classic.

I'm having trouble finding them for any bike older than 2000. Can anyone here lead me in the right direction? Or what is involved in changing my bike to accept 2000/up style wheels?

Thanks.

Thanks, I will check them out.

I also read about using reducers, spacers, and 2000 up style rotors, but I don't know what all the entails or cost.

As long as the hub width is the same you should not have any issues with centering the rim and the rotor should line up properly with the caliper.. You will however need to get a 2000 up rotor because the center hole is larger.. just make sure you specify a 3/4" axle and most likely you'll have to go to sealed bearings..

So I talked to Eastern Performance cycle, they seem very helpful. He told me I need to know if my 1997 heritage is sealed bearing or timken bearing?

After I find that out they can get the wheels ordered for me. I'm not mechanically inclined at all lol, can I tell what bearings I have without removing anything?

Thanks guys
