Its really hard to know what fits what,, there are hundreds and hundreds of different combinations of wheels and axle's..

My best advice it to call DNA and ask them.....

Assuming: R = Road King && I = Fuel Injected

2000-2003 FLH Can accept a 18x4.25 rim.

With this in mind; you might have to swap some bearings out.

It would take alittle more checking to see if it'll fit other than the wheel size constraints. Rotor hub surface and pulley hub surfaces will need to be checked and compared. Going to a completely different family of bike, I'd would assume no it won't fit because there are lots of discrepancies just between which year Softails will interchange wheels, which tells me that it is a very good chance it won't fit a Road King.

No it won't swap directly, completely different axle & bearing sizes. Your 93 has 3/4" parts and the 02 is 1" and there's no bearing retrofit that I know of. You can use a later wheel on an earlier bike with a shaft bushing kit but not the other way around.

It's hard when you don't know...It's easy when you do


Besides the axle sizes and taper roller vs sealed ball, the pulley and rotor locators on the hub are different sizes so you would want to change those also
