Will an 08 FLHX rear wheel with 150 tire fit a 02 FLHT with 142mm Spacer?
I picked up an 2008 street glide wheel with a 150 Dunlop tire and a 09 Front wheel with brembo rotors. The price was right so I figured worse case I could resell them and get my money back. In any event I was looking to run them on my 02 Electra. I bought the 142mm spacer kit from vulcan industries in hopes it would allow me to fit the 150 Dunlop on the rear. Looking at the back wheel/tire of my bike I never realized how close the rear tire offset is to the left side of the fender with the 130 tire so I am not sure if there is something else I need to do to make it work. If i have to change the tire I was trying to avoid that. My second question is will the 11.8 rotors fit with my older style brake calipers on my 02 or do I need to use my current rotors. Thanks for any help and recommendations!

I have just fitted a 2007 swingarm and 2005 rear wheel with a 150/80 tyre to my 1990 bike. I also used the 2007 rear caliper with the narrow 2005 pulley and later rotor. I tried real hard to make it all work with the wide belt, but gave up! There is not enough room to space the wide pulley away from the hub so the belt misses the tyre.
I thought the type of swingarm I have just fitted was introduced in 2002, but if you have the big iron rear rotor you may find the hole in the centre, where it fits the later hub, is too small. I machined my old wide pulley out to fit the later hub. Does your swingarm have forged ends where the wheel axle goes through, or just the tube ends?
