Re:which wheels fit 11 Months ago  
its the bearing that will tell you if the rims will fit. but thats just the begining, you will need to look into the rotor size to see if that is the same. then the rear belt pulley will ours bolt onto it or does it take the same type of belt. the reason i think harley rims are so popular is the fact that they are so easy to convert over. rotor size is the same in front and the rear you can just get a looney stay, and the belt is the same. its just the bearings you need to adapt for on hd wheels. after that its more or less a walk in the park with any part you can think of you can get off the shelf. so im sure ts posible but after the wheel cost all the other stuff to it will probly cancel out your savings and end up costing more in the long run unless you are a machienist
