Default front end question

i recently acquired a pair of black lower legs and cow bells from a buddy of mine..
i was wondering what it would take to use them on my 99 road king..
i belive these were bought for an 06 street glide

the road king is a cop model with air adjustable front end

here is a picture of the bike for anyone interested in looking,....it's a work in progress
still need some lettering on the tank and some pin strpe flames done on it
gonna go with a 21 up front with an 18 on the rear..
probably a detatchable fairing when the money comes up

Did this to bro's '99 Standard.
Nothing special, need a 1" axle & spacers.
Speedo won't work with 2000+ wheel.
You'll need a 2000+ wheel and a '99 & back rotor for speedo to work.

You'll also need 2000+ calipers.

Will the 99 and back rotors work with 07 brakes?

Yes...but the rotor may not fit the hub.
When ordering wheels, you need to specify that you need a '99 hub with a 1" axle hole. Not all wheel manufacturers do this. I know RC Components will.
You just need to tell them exactly what you're doing and they'll accomodate you.
