Has anyone learned more about doing the rear wheel? I am likely going to do this swap soon.

Where did you find this? So there is hope that you can swap the rear for the RG wheel also!

I emailed the dealer in the picture about that bike and here's what they told me about that back wheel......

"The bike you saw was accessorised in our shop here a couple years back. We fitted the stock Talon wheels off of a 2018 FLHRXS Road King Special. The front was an easy install, but the rear had to be flipped and each side machined and tapped to fit properly (pulley went onto disc side of wheel, disc onto pulley side, wheel in backwards rotation)."

That is a lot of work for the rear!

Easy way to have a fairly exclusive set of wheels.

Does anyone have the torque specs of the axle and pinch bolts? (I'm still waiting on my service manual)
thanks
Ended up deciding to keep the fat front so if anyone is looking to do this, I have this wheel for sale in the classifieds.... pickup in AZ or I can deliver to SoCal (northern San Diego area) in the next couple weeks....

Have you tried to bolt this wheel on? It looks like the rotors mount the same as the enforcer wheel. There is another guy that put the enforcer front wheel on and is not running a front fender because the rotor bolts contacted the fender mount.

Yeah I put it on and rode around the block a couple times without the fender.
The rotor bolts are the domed headed ones, so to run a fender someone would need to replace them with the flat head style bolts or just notch the fender mount with a dremel. I think I took a pic of it and will try to post it so you can see the clearance.

I appreciate the info for sure. I just bought a carbon fiber front fender and wasn't looking to leave it out of the picture.
