Default 07' FLHX front wheel question?

Can you replace an 07' FLHX 16" OEM front wheel with a FatBoy 16" solid front wheel?

I wouldn't think you couldn't, as long as the bearings were the same and set up to use the SG axle.

One problem would be that the Fatboy has only one front brake. It is possible there are aftermarket hubs that will adapt dual-front brakes to the Fatboy wheel. Check in the Softail section and ask the same question, as surely someone over there will know.
