No the bolt holes are different size for the rotor and pully.

From the MoCo catalog:
"16" Rear
Fits '00-later XL models, '00-'05 Dyna® models, '00-'02 Softail® models (except FXSTD), and '00-later Touring models. Requires separate purchase of model-specific Wheel Installation Kit."
At any rate, I put a Sporty wheel on my Dresser and did not "reverse" it. The valve stem is on the right, just like the stock wheel was.

RE: Road Winder Wheel
Yes, if the bolt patterns fit. The roadwinder wheels on my 06 FXD are both from different bikes the rear is spec'ed for an 05 softail and the front is for an 05 dyna. Your local dealer parts guy should be able to cross reference the numbers. Or try calling the MoCo customer service line.
BTW the part numbers for both were different from the FXD part number. In fact my rear wheel has 2 part numbers stamped on it from the factory and had a 3rd part number sticker on it as well.

RE: Road Winder Wheel
And this. Again, the hub sides are reversed durring manufacturing. This is a partial drawing of my Carbon Fiber wheels we make. Just like the roadwinder, the wheels must be made either left or right side drive right from manufacturing to be a direct bolt up application. I sliced one of my autocad drawings and converted it to Jpeg so you can see it for yourself. Hope all this information helps you.

RE: Road Winder Wheel
I'm confused. I wonder how I bolted a Sporty wheel on my Road King without reversing it?[&:]
Is the valve stem on the left side of a Sportster? I'm believing so after looking at some Sporty wheels on eBay.

RE: Road Winder Wheel
Here in the photo above is the real sporty rear wheel I bought brand new from Harley. The part # is correct. xxxflhrci Think about what facts I stated very carefully. How can you have pulley sized bolts on the rotor side if you did not (impossible as the spokes are directional) turn a Sporty wheel around? I would venture to say, if in fact you have a Sporty wheel, you are definitely incorrect in thinking you have a sporty wheel. Just think about the information I have provided.
On the other hand, what difference is it to you as you have a working bike? No big deal. I do not wish to provide incorrect information to you xxxflhrci or anyone in this forum. I do not care who is right or wrong and I do not wish to offend you by chalanging your motorcycle knowlage. I believe you had to be lied to by your parts guy. If your wheel fits on your bike, they gave you a correct wheel for your bike if you bought it new and /or no one modified the wheel.
As far as the guy (bobbyv) who wrote this post, he wrote another one titled "Road Winder wheel" (HERE Is Link) asking the same question without checking this post for answers or he may have not wanted the answer he got. I do not know.
I guess we all wasted our time thinking and posting. I will bow out now and not revisit this post. The good part is xxxflhrci you found out what wheel you have which, by the way is a much more valuable wheel.

RE: Road Winder Wheel
Fast, I realize the error in my thinking now and edited my last post before your reply. My rear wheel came off of a wrecked Sporty, so I wasn't lied to by any parts guy about what it was supposed to fit. I was originally basing my thinking on which side the valve stem goes. My Road King had both stock wheels with the valve stems on the right side. I assumed, incorrectly, that the Sporty would be the same. I now realize that the Sporty must have the stem on the left. I actually did reverse my wheel.
