Default Need a little info

I have an 06 Heritage, and want to put a 21" spoke wheel on it. I found one that is an 80 spoke meant for about an 04 or 05 Wide Glide. Question is, will it even work on my bike? I figure by getting the Wide Glide wheel, it may fill up that fender a little better than a standard 21" wheel. I dont really know much about it, but have been told that all I will have to do is bolt it right on with my spacers and everything, and that the wheel is 3.5" wide.
So, what is your take on this?

It might work with some extra effort and money. You can get a spoked wheel for your softail relatively inexpensively if you look around. It's my opinion that you should get a wheel made to fit your bike. 21x3.5" will do a good job of filling up the fender. Let me know if you need help with specifics or anything.

I just wanna know if that Wide Glide wheel will fit my Heritage. I hate spending money on something that will be useless to me in the long run. I also DO NOT want to put any more money into it than I have to. Will it bolt right up or not?

Then get a wheel specifially for your bike. A wide glide wheel will be a pain in the azz and cost more extra money and hassle than it is worth. I can get you an 80 spoke for a decent price if you are interested let me know.

Actually yeah, I am interested. Please get me a price for that kind of wheel. While you are at it, get me a price on one of those wheels with a ton of spokes like some of the other guys on here have (Mimo's bike specifically) Thanks for your help man!

DNA's are the best spoke wheels, the fat spokes look nice
