    Will the rear wheel (wire spoke) from a 2001 Ultra or Road King fit a 2009 Road King?
    Thanks :)

    Sounds like you want to go back to a skinnier rear tire. The 09 is a different size.
    2001 rear tire size is 139/90-16
    2009 rear tire size is 180/65 B16 M/C 81H

    The bearings on the 09 are 25mm and the bearings on the other are 1 inch -Axel will have to be changed as well as bearings. spacers also.
