Cutting to the chase I am looking at used 17x6 rim with 200 tire to fit blackline. Can anyone advice which other models wheel will fit easily. I am looking on ebay and coming up with nighttrain, cross bones and other softail model rims which are 17x6 and not sure if there is anything else i need to consider.
thx

 

None of them

 

Hmmmm i seen someone on youtube claimin he was able to have crossbone rear without ne hussle. Just need more info and options

Pardon my ignorance, but what size rim/tire is on the bike now?
If its the same size I guessing that at worst you may need to change the axle bearings to fit yours and different spacers to get the rotor and sprocket lined up properly.

Harley does some crazy things between years, but their not stupid and try to keep costs down by not changing things like swing arms and engine/tranny setups very often.
So its likely that if your bike already has similar sized 200mm tire/rim setup.
Another wheel of the same size should fit without too much trouble.

 

Looking at the video clip, I wonder if he changed the rear fender?

 

I just put a CrossBones 17x6 on my Train, but it was a straight swap. Everything (swingarm, tire, bearings, axel, etc) was the same size. The BL comes with a skinnier tire, hence a skinnier swingarm. I could be wrong, but it follows.

 

the blackline only has a 140 tire. i highly doubt a 200 would fit under that rear fender. my old train had a stock 150 and i squeezed a 160 in there, a member in the night train forum i think got a 180 but had to bend the struts. so a 200? unlikley

 

You would need a wider fender and struts. If ABS, you'll need special ABS wheel bearings.

I prefer the smooth rims of the Blackline over the stepped xbone rims.

 

Well he wrote how he did it:

"The rear fender supports were heated and reformd and the fender cut and widened."

Sounds like you have a fair amount of work ahead of you.

 

Thats what m thinking .. I mean off-course i will get new fender and reform struts as long as everything else just fits aight.. just want to know ne one did that change on this forum?
