get a wheel that fits your bike/parts.

I put a solid wheel on my 85 FXWG back in 1987. I recently wanted to go back to spokes, but I had sold the original wheel long ago. I bought a whole new spoked rear wheel for $125. It fits with no issues. That would be easier, and cheaper, than trying to make something else fit.

If anyone wants a softail custom solid rear wheel let me know. It has been polished smooth (no rough textured center) and chrome plated. No issues with it I just wanted to go back to old skool look of spokes. It came off a 1987 softail custom, but if fit my 1985 FXWG perfectly.

You want a wheel with tapered roller bearings. That '00 wheel has ball-races that are larger in OD and the housings they fit in are also larger, which is why your pulley and rotor won't fit on them.
