21" spoke wheel replaced by 18" mag wheel
plan to change 2008 front 21" spoke wheel with mag wheel. Wonder if I can use 18" mag wheel that come with 2014 or later sportsters also. Is it direct swap or I need to replace other parts as well?
Thanks

That 21" Laced Spoke wheel is mounted to Narrow-glide front forks.
The 18" front "Mag" wheel from like a SuperLow or 1200T is mounted to Mid-glide front forks.

^^^ This. I had to change my front-end to mid-glide trees to get the 18" mag wheel from 2012 883 SuperLow.

besides it not fitting as previously stated...changing from your 21" to the superlow's 18" would change the rake and trail as well
Have you thought about putting on a 19" "mag"...can be a direct fit
