How do you tell what model year a HD solid disk rim is? I bought it used and don't know if it is a 2000-02 or a 2003 or later. I know it after a 2000. The problem is if it is a 2000-02 I need to buy a wide tire kit and the guy who sold it to me lied! I am replacing the FXST stock spock rim with the solid disk.
I have my scoot torn down and need answers so I can get the bike put together prior to good riding weather!!!

Thanks all

I know you're looking for answers regarding your new purchase, and hope you get noe soon. The reason I'm writing you is that I may be interested in your old wheel. If your'e interested in selling it, how much would you be asking?

Is there anything being left on it (pulley,axle, bearings) or is it stripped?

Just spoke to a fellow scooter wrench regarding your dilemma, & he says the year model of the wheel is not a matter unless your'e getting far off of the original year model. What the true issue is what size tire you want to go with. He says that as long as you stay under the 200 series, you should be able to clear the softtail swingarm. I'll get back with you on the wheel if I can't come up with an alternative in a day or so. Thanks!

The model year of the wheel does matter. Different spacers, different calipers cause much of a difference witht the wheel and mounting!
