    since we are on wheels, will a front wheel off a 90's Fatboy fit on a 2003 Fatboy?

    Different "wheels" being talked about here, but to answer your question the evos have a 3/4"axle and the twinkies use a 1" axle.

    If its a 74" shovel and your swapping flywheels and rods,the 74" shovel is a shorter stroke than the Evos.
    The early evos did share a lot of bottom end parts with the 80" shovels
