    I have a '03 Duece that I'm going to purchase billet wheels for. My wife has a 2002 Wideglide. Does anybody know if my takeoff rear wheel from the Duece will fit her Dyna?

    Physically the wheel will bolt up. The side clearance is what you need to check. Tire widths vary depending on manufacturer. A 160mm from Dunlop, Avon and Metzler will all have different mounted widths. The total tread is still 160mm but, the profile varies a lot. Measure the width of the 160 on you wheel and measure the inner clearance. Note anything that will cut or damage the tire. Wiring, seat bolts, strut bolts etc and plan to move / modify them. If you have a 1/4" per side or say 8mm between the tire sidewall and fender then I would consider a test fit. Otherwise you will need to do some customizing. Remember that future tire changes will need careful measuring if changing brands or sizes.

    watch for clearance between the brake caliper and the ribs on the duece wheel. If I am not mistaken the duece uses a slightly different rear caliper that allows for clearance.

    Thanks for the input, I guess I'll just try it and see if it clears. I was hoping to find someone that has been there,done that.
