Recently, I changed my front wheel with the older used wheel of harley . maybe that of shovelhead??
Now, the problem is, my speedometer system doesn't match this wheel.
I don't have any knowledge about this wheel.
Anyone would give me advice I must follow to install speedo cable system?
Here are pictures of the wheel .
That" Star Hub" wheel came off an older bike with the speedo driven from the transmission
Therefore, there is no provision for a speedo drive
Thanks.
I think there is no other way but change the wheel to "modern" one.
I can install 16" evo front wheels before 1996 to my ride?
I was told the speedos chagned electric after 1997.
If I' wrong, correct me.
thanks.
Thanks.
I 've changed my FX front end with that of old classic springer front assembly.
All is good ,,,,until this issue pops up.
I'm rolling my head ,
Through which year can i use 16" wheel without mistake..
Do you have any advice?

Yes & no , there are variations due to models.
For instance , first year (` 94 ) Road Kings had electronic speedometers, other models did not switch till later
You need to spend some hours on Ronnies Parts Finder deciphering the various parts numbers
Or put a GPS on your handlebars and run what you have

Oh, confusing but thank you for answer.
How about evo FL softail model ? I''m leaning to FL softail models since mine is FXSTS model.
There are also variations among Evo FL softail models due to the years?
I ve found this wheel on Ebay I'm cautious though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/126264160329
This will fit?
That FLST wheel Should work on any Softail...In Fact...I have one on a 4 speed FLH
Spacers May need to be Made!!
Special Note...Springer Softail Front Wheels are laced Offset..Take Heed and Caution
Thanks.

As mentioned, all Road Kings are electronic speedometer. 1995 was the last year for the mechanical speedometer on the Softail models.
