Wheels
If I want to swap my original mags off my 84 FLH80 with spiked wheels off an 2004 heritage Softail will they work and what do I need to do as far as for the drive gear and rotors and the Speedo? Thanks in advance

Find spoke wheels of the same vintage as your bike. If needed, re-lace with fresh stainless steel spokes, this is by far the easier path to the look you are after. Not only will you have axle issues, you will then need to tackle bolt spacing for rotors, sprockets and wheel spacers. A major PITA. This time, take the easy road. Good luck.

Rotors won't fit...different hubs will require machining/spacing ...speedo drive issues...I have access to machine shop, and could do it very cheap...but I wouldn't fool with it
