Default Got a fork question

After some enlightenment I have learned that when swapping out my stock mag front wheel to an enforcer 19" 2015/2016 wheel that not only the bearing but the calipers won't work because rotor is in a different place...here is my question....I'm wanting to also swap out my fork lowers for a fresh chrome set....I can also get a set of 2015/2016 forks lowers.... will they work on my fork uppers/ inner cylinder part? And should I just go that route? Thanks in advance

The Brembo calipers from the 2008- 18 bolt directly to the 2007 forks. If you want chrome lowers get them for a 2007.

So I'm guessing this will put the calipers where I need them for rotors on the new enforcer wheel ? Because it looks like it would be a direct replacement for factory and the new rotors will be out farther

If I am understanding correctly, you want to add '15/'16 fork sliders (lowers) onto an '07 fork pipe assembly....?

Won't work....

HD upgraded the forks on the touring bikes in 2014. They went from 41mm to 49mm. You cannot mix/match parts from '14-'18 touring forks with older forks..

Fork lowers are the same from 2000-2013, & the wheels from 2000-2018 will work as long as you use the calipers, bearings, & spacers from the year wheel you're using. You can even use an ABS wheel on a non ABS bike, you just need to use the ABS spacer.

So the diameter of the rotor is the same from an enforcer wheel to my stock mag rotor? Now I'm confused because I've been told that you have to change the bearings the axle bolt as well as your calipers because the rotors are in a different location

Hopefully we can confuse you to the point of getting a bike with Enforcer wheels already on it . Serious though, I am also interested in your results, may try something like that on my 04 RK.
