Default 21" RC Components front wheel swap

Does anyone know if a 21" RC components chrome front wheel taken off of a 04 Road Glide will fit on my 2013 Road King FLHR or what modifications would be needed to the wheel? The wheel has dual rotors attached as does mine. I have abs brakes. Thanks for your help

First issue is your bike has stock 11.8" front rotors and his 2004 has 11.5" front rotors. They will physically fit but be undersized so braking will not be ideal and might cause some issues. Front axle size on yours is 25mm and his is 1" so have to swap bearings, inner spacers, axle spacers, etc.

The early wheel has 1 inch bearings. The later wheel has 25mm bearings.

Edit. Oops, hogpro covered that.
