Not sure of the year, it is a 17x4.5 with 1 inch bearings, l know these will need to be changed to 3/4 as well as inner spacer but was not sure if there was any other issues.

The hub itself will fit with no problem...just use the 3/4" bearings with your center spacer sleeve.

I can't speak for Tire-to-fender or tire-to-belt clearance with whatever tire size you'll use on that 4.5 rim installed on your softail though
