My intent was to score a later model front Street Glide rim to replace my existing 16".

Your bike has 1" wheel bearings, while the later 18" SG wheels use 25mm, however you can install 1" bearings in the later wheel. The simplest way to do that is to buy a bearing kit from H-D, which comes with the essential bearing spacer. I've done that myself on an older bike.
Your rotors will swap over to the later wheel, so you can continue to use your calipers. Alternatively you can use the later rotors and swap to later Brembo calipers, which will fit your forks. Later bikes use larger diameter rotors, hence the need to match them up, as they will not work with your current ones.

Up to 2013 your rotors will work on the new wheel. You'll need an axle with nut, bearings and spacers.

Can I not just change the bearings in the new wheel, and use my current axle set-up?
