Default solid H-D rear wheel

I just bought a solid aluminum rear wheel 4 a 2001 sportster I read some where that its the same wheel as the big twins and can be used on ether models just by flipping it around so sprocket is on the correct side. Any one know if this is true. Thanx

What bike are you planning to fit it to? A friend of mine recently fitted one to his Sporty and what I noticed is that the threads for the pulley bolts are not the same as BTs. So I am not sure they will fit.
