Talking Confused about wheels?
I have a 2015 FLSTC heritage softail deluxe. I want to get rid of the spokes. I have seen several wheels fairly cheap and need some help on which to get. One says, "Front wheel off a 2009 Harley Davidson Road Glide. Tire tread with plenty of life left. Tire wheel and rotors $75 obo. Tire size is 130/80 17"....how do I know if this will fit ok on the front? My bike has ABS so, will that be affected? Another for the rear, "Street Glide Rear Wheel"..... Maybe this for the front..."Front wheel off 2017 harley touring abs bearings tire needs replacing " I just don't know jack sheet about wheels for this thing...lol I submit to your wisdom...thanks.

I think the touring wheels have different hubs. you might be able to use it but it has holes for rotors on both sides an softails only have single rotors I've seen some trim ring things that you could use to cover the holes. you may have to get custom wheel spacers an space the rotor to line up.

Thanks for the reply. I sort of assumed that maybe someone on here has actually tried this. I just want to get away from the spokes before any 400 mile rides etc. Thanks.

the fatboy wheels that were used before they went to the 200 in the rear should bolt right up.

UPDATE! The 25 mm bearing fatboy wheels started in 07 an have 200 mm wide tires on the back. your bike has a narrower tire it might still fit but may need changes.
