RK front Wheel Q&A

Hey Guys, I've got a 2000 RK FLHP. It's got the factory spoke wheel on the front. I've been looking on ebay for a used solid wheel. Found a great one a few minutes ago for a great price. Problem...I'm at work (at the Fire House) and won't be home for a few days to look. My question is does anyone know what the wheel size is? I know it's a 16", but the wheel is listed as a 16"x3". Is that correct for my bike?

Thanks!

if it is a fatboy wheel you also need to make sure that you can mount both rotors. I am not for sure if you can on a stock fatboy rim.

I thought all stock touring wheels that are 16" are 3" wide in that vintage? I have an 07 R/G that came with 3", and 3 sets of spare touring wheels that are 3". I had a 99 fatboy before that also had 3" wheels and the front wheels are drilled for 2 rotors, and they have a cover if you only use 1 rotor.
