New Rotors?
I plan to buy some new wheels soon and was hoping to use some current parts to help keep the cost down. If I buy two new wheels with tires mounted, can I reuse the rotors and pulley that are currently on my bike? I have a 2012 Wide glide with about 3000 miles. Also, will this effect the tune if I go from a 21 x 2.15 front and 17 x 4.5 rear to a 21x3.5 and 18x5.5? I am having a tune done in a few weeks with the current wheels and plan to buy the new ones mid summer. Thank you!

Yes, you should be able to do that. Confirm with your wheel supplier that stock Harley hardware will fit and that the wheels will fit your bike. Changing wheels won't affect any dyno work you have done.

Rotors and sprockets can be reused. Suggest you get new hardware(nuts and bolts). The wider tire in front won't affect you tune, but the larger diameter tire in the back may change the numbers a little. Not a real big deal.

It all depends on what wheels you get. Some fo the Harley brand wheels come with a wider diameter for the bolt mounting pattern of rotors but all after market manufacturers make wheels that will allow you to use the stock rotors.
The wide glid e with a spoke on the front will have the standard bolt pattern. Dynas 08 and newer with cast wheels have the other rotor. Check your rear and see if it mounts the same as the front as I am not 100% certain.
