If he will give it to you, I suggest you get it, sell it, and get the correct wheel for your bike. His wheel will not fit your 94 Heritage.

Without knowing what wheel you have it's hard to know if it will fit. That being said, here's how I put a stock '14 SG wheel on my '94 FL with a 3/4" axle.

Nothing is impossible, but the front wheel speedo drive is not easy to deal with and that alone is a good reason why his wheel won't work. In addition your wheel bearings are 3/4" tapered rollers and his are 1" ball races and they will not swap over for that reason. For an easy life you need to stay with a wheel that uses 3/4" tapered roller bearings.
