Default Quick answer needed boys!!!
Would the wheels from a 2008 Fatboy be direct bolt on replacement for my 2002 Road King?

Thanks

In 2007 the Fatboy increased in size/width to a 200/55 R17 I'm not sure but I'll bet the Road Kings is 140/90B 16 or close.........I would think you would need some mods to make it work. Pre 2007 Fatboy maybe.

OK cool thanks for the quick reply. There is a good deal on CL locally for some 18" Mammoth spoke wheels with tires from an 08 Fatboy. If they were direct bolt on I was going snag them because I hate the stock wheels on my RK, but don't really want to mess with modding anything.
