The wheel part numbers did not change when the electronic speedometers came out, they just eliminated the drive unit and used a spacer (in place of the drive unit) on the left side.

Are you trying to find a 21-inch wheel, or 16-inch wheel?

Is that springer a Harley Davidson part?

The OEM front wheel part number used on FL Softails (laced wheel) is 43005-86, this part was used from 1986-1999.

That is the wheel in my sig picture.

Exactly, I'm trying to find 16" that uses front speedo drive unit which my 1991 FXSTS has.

From what I've learned here, I narrow down to the following.

1. Softail models that use front speedo drive unit were issued until 1995.
2. I may need new spacer.
3. Now, 43005-86 is the part number of OEM FL softail model.

thank you sir.

All will work with a mechanical speedometer drive unit.

I appreciate your help sir.
I googled and Speedo unit and axle kit have variations depending on softail models.
I 'm keeping my stock FXSTS speedo unit and axle kit.
I must change all of them too? or Can I use stock axle with only spacers changed?
Thanks anyway.

While searching for proper parts, I've found new parts.
Is there anyone who know or experience this part?
