I've got an '08 RK and I'm trying to figure out if anybody knows why Harley says these new wheels won't fit my bike, and if there is a way to get them to fit my bike. I'm thinking maybe the 09 bikes have a different size shaft going through them, but I don't know for sure. Somebody let me know if they have the answer. Here is the wheel I'm looking at.

40268-10
18" Front
Fits '09-later Touring models (except Trike). Requires separate purchase of 18" Tire and Floating Brake Rotors P/N 48981-10 and 49000-10.

 

I stopped at the dealer today, and it seems that the front wheel will fit but the rear won't. Which, I already knew that the rear wouldn't.
