Default Wire Wheel question

I want to put a wire wheel on the front of my 99 EG. What kind of hub do I need to look for? I have a factory cast wheel now.

I think it's a straight swap.

Wire wheels are a PITA to keep clean...

Not to mention if you get a nail in it you cant just put a plug in it...you'll be stranded wherever you happen to be. Just in case the question comes up....what plug can you use on a MC tire? These.....

A Road King Classic wheel will fit your bike. Look on Ebay.
