Default Wheel question

A family member had a new 48 fat spoke 21inch wheel. An was going to put it on a chopper he is building but decided to go another route. So he gave it to me. I dont know much about harley wheels and need some help. Will it work on my 2017 m8? Its got a brand new tire on it as well. It only has one brake rotor and of course my sg has 2. Basically how do i make this fit on my bike. Im not gonna change it now regardless but when my front tire wears out i thought i might use it then if it will work. Here is some pics. The tire is 120 70 21. Needs cleaned up a little where it has set in a garage forever an not been touched. But i really like the looks of it.

Sorry cant tell ya, don't know what the spoke wheel came off of and or what it fits. You mentioned chopper, that kinda suggest either a dyna, or sporty, not a touring model. HD used different size front axle/bearing combos and rotor sizes. You need to find out exactly what that wheel was made for, check with whoever made that wheel and or your family member, then check fitment. The tire is not so much the issue, its the wheel and bearings. You would have to remove 1 caliper and do some brake line work if the wheel would fit. Also many change the lower fork leg to clean up the look, (no caliper mounts). Might also be an issue if you have ABS.......
