I have a chance to buy a set of wheels from a friend at a good price. the problem is his bike is a '97 fatboy, mine is a 2000 model. how much would it cost to adapt these to my bike ? I am thinking it is just a matter of swaping out the bearings and the axle, right?..... need some guidence here please, I need to give him an answer

 

Might try a dealer.. or some wheel shops..If U don't get an answer in here..I have noidea

 

You might need new wheel hubs. Call the manufacturer of the wheels.

 

I should have mentioned that the wheels i'm buying are your typical fatboy wheel , but chromed.

 

The hub style changed in 2000. They will not fit. The hub patterns for both the sprocket and disc brake are different. It would be much more work than it would be worth. You have have to replace the sprocket and disc brakes.
