Seems to me if the bearing is the same for accepting the same axle and the rotor bolt pattern is the same on both sides, all you'd have to do is cut new wheel spacers to center it properly in the rotors.

I put one on the front. I had my left side caliper milled down about the thickness of a 3/8 washer so the calipers would fit. Used the same wheel spacers.

Rotors won't line up without cutting the hub (or one of the calipers..or slider?. I can't remember which.) I put an FLH hub on a Fat Bob front end. Wasn't too hard but I do have acces to a lathe and design tools.

If memory serves, it's a drop-in for Low Rider sliders. You'll want to confirm that, tho.
