Snosrap03, thanks I had intended to move to Chrome rims and just purchased a set as I needed a new front wheel. But I do like the idea of running a 200 series tire in the back. Mt Slim is a 2012 with 1647 miles on it. I would still be interested if you are... Lets take this to a PM.

16" rear wheel swap
Hello Gents
I resurrecting this thread.
I own a 2008 crossbones. I want to swap my rear wheel (200) for a rear 16 wheel. Does anyone know if its possible to swap wheels with a softail slim rear wheel using existing bearings, spacers...I've seen pictures of it and want to try it out. Thanks.

It's probably still sitting by the front door. Boxed up and ready to drop off at the Post Office

I am hoping to do the same to one of my X'bones, but many other projects and medical bills take priority, so it's going to be a while.
In my case it might be better to use a wheel off a Deluxe of the same era. I think that will mean sacrificing 20mm in tyre width. The deluxe is 180mm - have you considered that?
I will be checking back from time to time to see.....
