Wheel swap 2003 Road King

A friend of mine has a set of wheels off of a 1994 Fatboy. They appear, to me, to be aftermarket. They appear to have provision for dual rotors. I am attaching pics of front wheel. Does anyone recognize this wheel and what do I need to consider to install on my 2003 Road King. Thanks for any help

They look like an older RC Components design. I am sure you can get the proper hubs for your ride and bolt them on.

The '94 Fat Boy has 3/4 inch axles. Your RK has 1 inch axles. I don't know if there are 1 inch bearings that will fit the oder wheels.

I don't think so. The older tapered roller bearings are smaller in OD than the later ball races, as is the spigot the rotors and pulley mount onto. However if the bearing housings can be swapped, as Hogpro suggests, that should solve all problems!
