I have a 2007 FXDC with a completely stock front end, triple tree, wheel, brake, etc. I want to change the 19" front wheel to a 16" wheel and put a fat tire on it, much like the FatBob. I have looked the world over and cannot find a 16" laced wheel that will fit this application. Any help is appreciated, even if you think your solution is questionable, throw it out and I'll check it out.

 

find a 16" rim, most softails have 16" rears and the heritage I belive runs a 16" front and use your hub with new spokes!

This was one of my earliest attempts....the FXDC hub is different from a wideglide hub in that the spoke hooks are different. I can find a wheel but cannot find spokes. Any info on where to find spokes?
Thanks

 

Does your custom have a narrow front end? You'll have to replace the triple, first. Then find a 16" wheel on ebay that has the right bearing size. If you have 1" or 25mm bearings, you should be able to interchange the tire. USE THE RIGHT BEARINGS for your axle! Found out the hard way the inner diameter of the 3/4" hub won't accept the larger inner spacers. The 1" will accept the 25mm and vice versa. If ya' need a spoke wide wheel for a 3/4 axle, I have one for sale.

 

I'm in the process of doing this to my 08 street bob, I ordered my spokes from hdwheels.com.
