cast wheel for flstsci
I have a softail springer classic and I want to change the front wheel over to a cast tubeless rim I really like the hd 9 spoke wheel but the info says it wont fit but I sure do see pictures of people running them I just haven't found any one to talk to.it doesn't need to be a hd wheel any brand will do

I can't answer your question, but can help you to find out! Go to Ronnies Microfiche website and look up the part number for your wheel, then find what other models it fits (Softails, Dynas). Then look for a cast wheel for one of those models, to fit on your bike.

Those wheels above are chrome, but they are available in black with bright rims and I seem to recall seeing them in grey or silver as well. Fatboy disc wheels are another possibility and I reckon Street Glide wheels should fit as well. Be sure to look for wheels from the right era, for example if your bike is 2000-2007, look for wheels for those years. Earlier ones won't bolt in and I don't think later ones will either.

Are ya running them on the rear too? What year size? I want to put a night train 17x6 disc on my '09 EG? No one seems to think ya can put a softail wheel on a '09up EG? If the touring wheel fits your softail a softail wheel ought to fit my EG?? I know the '08 down wheels interchange because my '00 RK has fatboy wheels. Not sure if the crush drive on the '09 up tourers changed the spacing??

hey old hippie the more the merrier,and to elky they are about the best lookin wheels out there.i've heard that the springer has a off set hub.i'm thinkin if I put the wheel withrotor on and centered in thebrake caliber and measured for spacers then I should be ok.i'm wondering if the fender will still line up with tire.i know the only way to find out is to buy the wheel but at 600$ + I want to talk to someone who has done this set up first.so if anyone knows how to do it please reply thanks
