Hi mate, I asked Pikes Peak HD and the info I got is that it wont fit however going by a previous thread by Handler (i think) who did an aftermarket conversion there would appear to be a chance that it may be feasable. I want to do the same as you so I am looking into it further and will let you know

Hey all, spoke to a HD customising shop today here in Australia that have done this mod with no problems. They installed a 200 stock 07 night train wheel in an 07 wideglide with the only issue being spacer size. They are sending me spacer sizes for that mod to pass on so I will be sticking one in my lowrider

As soon as I get it treeextractor I will let you know, I spoke to the guy that did the conversion and he said its just a matter of getting the wheel on the axle making sure the caliper is positioned properly then measure the spacer size. I got myself a laser that sits onthe pulley so you can shine it on the belt as well to make sure all is running true when you spin the wheel. I installed the docking kit as mentioned in handlers thread so hopefully it shouldnt be all that hard once spacing issues, blinker wiring etc are resolved.
