Default Are the Superglide double front brake wheels the same as single front brake wheels?

I have a 2005 FXDXI. I want to find some stock mag wheels and powder coat them black. Can I used mags off of any superglide or do I need to make sure they are the dual brake in the front? Basically, are all the superglide mag front wheels the same?

Thanks

The wheel hub has to be drilled/tapped to accept a rotor. So, the answer is... you have to find a wheel that is for a dual disk setup.

As far as your question: "Can I used mags off of any superglide or do I need to make sure they are the dual brake in the front?"

The hub with is very important. You need to measure that. Their are various width hubs that have both taped and untaped hub faces. That does not mean all sizes fit everything.

Hmm ok. Thank you all. I will probubly have a hard time finding a used dual brake wheel but I will try waiting to see if one pops up on ebay.

The other option is to have my bike down for the time it takes to do the work and I dont like that idea much.
