Rear Wheel Swap

Can somebody tell me if an 05 RK rearwheel will fit on the rear of my 02 FXST? I want to change from laced to mag. Thanks

I believe the RK has 1" bearing and the FXST has 3/4" bearing. Should work if you change those out.

Be pepared to play with spacing, unless you went with something like a night train solid rear. You never know what the offset could be?

It WILL fit. Harley changed the bearing size in 2000. So you're good to go.

Here's a link to a page in their catalog showing it.
