Wheel Fitment Advice

I am selling the stock wheels from my 2012 Road Glide Ultra. I have a potential buyer who owns and rides a 2003 Road Glide. Will my wheels fit his bike? I do know that he'll have to put non-ABS bearings in, but can't tell from the website if they'll otherwise fit his 2003 Glide.

Any advice from those "in the know" is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

No they won't! Your rear wheel is much wider than his, as is your swingarm. It is a major engineering job to get one into a pre-09 bike. Your front won't bolt in, as his bike has 1" bearings and yours has 25mm. There are threads in here about fitting late front wheels to earlier bikes, so worth looking a bit further.
