Wondering if anybody has changed their wheels to solid disks on a 48? I have a friend that is picking up a new 48 this week that is all blacked out and is looking for solid wheels that can be turned into black wheels.
Harley makes such a wheel but I'm not sure if it's been used on a 48 yet.
Here is an example of the wheel in question: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

Thanks in advance,

Oh, this can be an aftermarket wheel but it needs to have the fat front tire mounted on it.

 

I'm sure if you dig deep enough you'll find one but the problem will be hub width. Generally, the wheels that will be wide enough for the wider stock tire (3" wide) will have a wide hub that won't fit in the mid glide 48 front end...

 

I think I have seen Fat Boy rims mounted on a sporty, but not sure if it needs to be a wide glide or not.

 

Yeah. It has to be a wide glide. The hub won't fit in a mid glide.

If you want to keep the old school theme you can keep the spokes and get a set of wheel discs from Mooneyes. I think they're super cool. I'll be mocking up a frame soon with some of these. On a black bike, with red wheels and whitewalls then a set of these wheel discs where you can see just a bit of red around the lip and on the hub? Super freakin cool. No doubt. You'd need 2 sets for front and rear.
