Ride Wright Fat Daddy Fitment

Thinking about getting some Ride Wright Fat Daddys for my '06 Deluxe. These were on a '01 Fat Boy. Does anyone know if these will fit my bike? I'm hoping for a direct, bolt on fit, but I don't mind buying spacers. I just want to avoid getting stuck with something that won't fit my bike at all. The seller mentions part no. RW-2506. And I'm assuming that these are Ride Wrights and not the DNAs. I'm going to go by the spoke count - 50 = Ride Wrights, 52 = DNA. Right or not?

And like I said, these are used. Is there anything I should look for? How do I know that they are true? Etc., etc. A lot of money (at least to me) and I don't want to get taken. Or should I avoid buying used wheels altogether?

Thanks all for your responses.

01 and 06 deluxe and fatboy are exactly the same. 3/4" axle and the same hubs. They should bolt right on.

Ride Right has a stamp of the wheel size on the rim part and there should be a RRW also. That's what mine have

Thanks, I'll look for it. This guy says the one of the wheels has RW 2601 stamped on it.

I'd call Ride Right first. As I remember the offset of Softtail wheels changed in '03 with the advent of the 150m.m. tire. The 2000-2002 came with a 130 tire stock. The Harley P&A catalog shows different part numbers for rear wheels 00-02 than 03 and later. It might work fine, but I'd call the manufacturer to be sure before I spent my money.
