Default 2016 front wheel on a 2001 Electra glide

Hi guys couple of questions, can i remove my bearings and axle sleeve from my 2001 and install on new rim, its a 19x3 from a 2016 street glide special wheel. bearings were just replaced at end of last season on my 2001 wheels. that way i would retain the 1" axle. also is here any caliper adaptor to retain my oem calipers with the 11.8 rotors or will i have to get a set of brembos and mount them directly on my fork lowers to work with that set of rotors. Tried search bar but coudnt find nothing about possible bracket. thanks in advance

Don’t skimp out on the Brembo calipers after all that work. Much more braking power.

I have a 2013 Street Glide front & rear wheel on my 1999. You can get the 11.5” rotors with the bigger center hole. If you go with the bermbo brakes you can run the 11.8” rotors.

Doesn't apply ... He has an "Enforcer" with a "Spoke Mounted" rotor NOT "Hub Mounted"
