Default Wheel question

I have a 2003 Fatboy and I am looking at buying a 18" PM front wheel. My question is will my factor rotor and brake bolt up or do I need a different rotor or brake with this new wheel? Thnaks for the help.

It'll bolt right up. The brake caliper bolts to the forks. You are supposed to get new bolts according to the service manual for the rotor. Loctite those bad boys.
