Default 21" Wheel fitting.

I have a 2008 1200 Sportster and my dad has a 2009 Dyna low rider he changed his front fork and triple trees and gave me his old ones to put on my Sporty, I was wondering will my sporty front tire fit the 09 Dyna front end? It's the 21" tire I know the 21" will fit height wise but length wise I was wondering, or do I need to get a new wheel and tire?

Thank you

Your Sporty's 21" wheel hub is narrower than the 09 Dyna Mid-glide hub. You'll need "custom" wheel spacers and caliper/rotor spacer(s) to make it work. You would also need some sort of fender adapter brackets if you're keeping the fender.
