Default Wheels

i have a 1977 FXE with a Wide Glide front end. Its a real nice skoot, but as always could always use a lil somthin extra. I have spoked wheels on it, which I am not a big fan of. A freind of my dads has an 04 Fat Boy with Chrome solid rims, and offered to seel them to me. The front tire of mine says MT90 B16 and the rear tire says 130 90 B16. The front tire on his Fatty says MT90 B16 and the rear says 150 80 B16. I know that the front wheels should be interchangeable, but what about the rears? Mine is also a final chain drive, with his being belt? Will his rear wheel fit on mine, and what do I have to do to make it work? THANKS!

Default RE: Wheels

the rear may work it depends on fender clearance, and the spacers for the swingarm, it is kinda of touch and go...you may have to do some customizing to make it work
