Does anyone know is a rear wheel, with pulling and break disk off a Fatboy would fit an Electra Glide? The one I'm looking at is 16" which is the same size. It's is not the solid wheel. The Tire size is 140/90/16
Any help would be appreciated!

We need to know what year your bike is and also the year of the FB wheel, as there are several things that may get in the way. Tapered bearing wheels won't fit, as the touring bikes use a different rotor and caliper. Early ball-race wheels can be modified to fit. The softail wheels come with 3/4" bearings that will take the 1" touring bearings, but need to be machined to take the larger diameter bearing spacer. I'll stop there!
OK..I see. I bought a chrome Thunderstar wheel for the front of my 2001 Glide and I'm trying to find a match for the rear. I saw this one on Ebay:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-David...db885d&vxp=mtr

As it's a custom wheel it should fit without machining the hub. You will need a bearing kit, which Harley sells for all wheels and comes complete with bearing spacer, valve stem, etc. Harley wheels that fit many models can be fitted with 3/4", 1", or 25mm bearing kits, to suit. You can confirm that by visiting Harley's website, where that wheel is still listed, complete with instructions:
43649-08
16" Rear
Fits '00-later XL models (except '11-later XL883L), 00-'05 DynaŽ models, '00-'02 SoftailŽ models (except FXSTD), and '00-'08 Touring models.
