What would it take to fit this wheel on my 03 Electra glide? Is it possible?

Your spacer will work but You would need to change to Bembro brakes to use those rotors. Not sure anyone makes rotors that will work with those wheels and your calipers???

I have done this on my 06 ! What I did was buy a( 25mm) Axel & Spacers for an 09 and later. You will need the Brembo brake calipers, And I bought the Master cylinder for 09 & later too. But allot of people don't That's up to you. For me my brake lines worked fine But some have said they needed the 09 & later lines !?Or they had to ream their stock lines.. It all bolted right up ! One of the easiest mods I have done. Once I got all the parts !

I have the same wheel on my 01 but my Indy is great at thinking outside of the box. What he did was shim the caliper out just a tad so that it clears the rotor. It is tight indeed but works.

I swapped to the 1" bearings, made new outer spacers and bolted on the Brembos. Flush the new calipers with denatured alcohol to remove the dot 4 fluid.What would it take?-img_20141001_151903_066.jpg

I just did this last week, I went with a 25mm axle, picked up a used set of Brembo calibers for $110 shipped, an got some chrome spacers to match the chrome axle with covers I got. got some pads off ebay. I ended up spending about $675.

before:


now:


I paid around $480 shipped for the wheel, rotors an tire with under 400 miles on them.
