Default Changing wheels

Good morning,
Was thinking of getting rid of the 28 spoke stock wheels on my 13 RGU. Kind of like the airstrike wheels. Has anyone done this and is there any changes I need to make for fit? Appreciate any help

straightforward and easy, take your time, update your bearings, check you brake pads, consider flushing your fluid during the change process and enjoy. should be a direct swap

SG wheels are quite popular, especially the fronts, as they can easily be retro-fitted to much older models (I have an 18" one on my 1990 Glide!), but a little patience should reward you with a good set of secondhand ones. I found mine on Ebay and reckon it's only ever had the original tyre on it. If you have deep pockets H-D will sell you lovely new chrome ones, as an alternative!
