Default swaping wheels

Hellow everyone , Ive a question about puting cast 16 spoke mags of an 83 flh onto my 69fl . I have the front sorted out. Its the rear that I need info on. Its an 11.5 disc and I need an idea as to the spacers, caliper,&amp\\; carrier.&nbsp\\; I am using the stock swingarm .I see in the Jammer catalog spacers to&nbsp\\; put disc brake wheels onto a hardtail frame. i think they might work, not enugh info to tell. also have been told an 83 or later fx/fxr caliper &amp\\; carrier will work.&nbsp\\; Any suggustion or ideas ?&nbsp\\; I have seen&nbsp\\; this done same wheels same year bike several years ago, he was using a 73 &amp\\; later stock brake w/ banna carrier.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Thanks in advance&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Dewey
