Default What Rear Wheel do I choose?
I need to know what the differences are in some of the wheels. Some are year ranges 67-72 and some are 73-84. What are the differences? I am using a 1946 frame with a 67 shovel head motor and a combined sprocket and rotor off ebay. Can anyone give me some information about how to choose the right wheel? Thanks for your help.

I suggest you post in the Classic section, where you should get more help. Harley started fitting disc brakes around '73 (I had a '74 with them), so that is likely to be one reason.
