Default Softail wheel exchange

Have a 93 heritage. Rear spoke wheel is rusty and grungy.
Have a nice shiny fatboy rear disk wheel. Any one know if it will fit.
Tired of cleaning those darn spokes.
Dave

I am not really sure. I think it is early 90's.
I can't see any serial number on the wheel. It still has an old tire mounted so it may be on the inside of the rim.
There is a sticker warning not to use on FLH, FLT or FLHT. Nothing about FLSTC.
I am pretty sure that the bearings are not sealed. I talked to my guy at an indie shop this AM and he said it would not be a problem. Of course he wants to sell me a tire;-)

So get it on the condition you can exchange in the event it doesn't fit.

Default thanks

Sounds sensible. The tire on my spoke wheel has about 2500 mile on it.
Guess I might as well leave it on the wheel and mount a new one. Think I will let him do the exchange.
Thanks for your input,
Dave
