Default Enforcer front rim onto 1998 softail???

I know it's a dual rotor but plan on using one rotor and machining the mounts of one side. I know it's a metric axle. Besides custom axle and spacers anyone see a problem making this work on a 1998 softail custom. I love the rim and don't see any like this aftermarket. Should it be able to mount. Not wanting to buy one and not be able to work at all. Anyone put a bagger front rim on a softail?

25 mm to 3/4" reducers for the bearings..I have a set laying around I'm not going to use....then there's the issue of the rotor diameter...an adapter bracket might do the trick but they look kinda chunky on the front end...I had one...liked the improved braking of the 4 piston caliper but it wasn't a clean look. I've never messed with swapping lowers an don't know what came on what but swapping lowers to the correct axle size an caliper mount off a newer bike might be the ticket to take care of both. that wheel uses the semi floating rotors too which were 11.8" an evo's used a 11.5" rotor...I have a semi floating 11.5" rotor off an early V rod laying around too LOL. then there's the centering issue...get the right wheel spacers but the rotor may not be centered in the caliper...you might be able to just shim it but that would do away with the semi floating. maybe someone will chime in that's done something like this.
