Default Rim Interchange

Hey guys,

I have a "61 XLCH kicker. Presently has "72 XLH cast rims with 100/90H-19 fronts and 130/90-16 rears. I have the chance of picking up same sizes, but spokes, from a 1990 Sportster, model unknown. My question is will they fit?. They both have 3/4 inch axles with the rear axle spacers to 1 inch. Never did like cast spokes on early bikes and the spokers are like new, well cared for. Thoughts and opinions?
Thanks, Jon

[QUOTE=Texas Gunslinger

fwiw there were no 72 XL s with cast rims or 16” rear



not sure what you have

70s kickers had steel rims
electric start had Akront aluminum hoops to offset the weight of starter and car sized battery

maybe the old Lester mags?
