Default wheels from a touring?

So i wanna put a 17" front wire wheel on my slim and i know some of the tourings came with them. Would all it take is a bearing and axle change?

Call a dealer for accurate scoop. I have a set of 2009 spoke smooth laced hd wheels I'll sell ya cheap if the dealer tells ya you can use them.
Rear is 16" and front is 17"

Front is 130 17 65...

No good. These are non abs and like the other poster said dual disc in the front.
I guess you could remove 1 disc ....pm me if you need me. Good luck with whatever you decide.

The only part of the wheels that has to do with abs system is the bearings correct? So if i got a non abs wheel could i just put abs bearings in it and remove one of the discs and be good to go?

Except for the part of the hub that should have a brake disc on it will look like crap

Thats true. I just priced a hub and I dont think id be saving much money after buying the wheel, replacing the hub and bearing and having it balanced.

Oh well plan B. Keep looking for a deal on a used rim already set up
