Question Fat Boy wheels on a Street Glide?

Question, a buddy of mine has a set of 16 x 3 Wheels he took off his 2003 Fat Boy, he had them chromed and decided to go another route. He has offered them to me for FREE. I have a 2008 Street Glide with ABS brakes. Will these fit? Any Ideas? Any mods to get them to fit?

If it were me I wouldn't do it. The solid fatboy wheels catch the wind and act like sails in a crosswind. I don't think you'll like the way they handle.

They certainly aren't a bolt on. The bearings are a different size. I suppose they could be made to work with the proper bearings and new spacers made taking the wheels off sets into account. Most
Fat Boy owners say the wind and the wheels thing is a myth. I own an '02 Fat Boy as well as my Streetglide. I removed the solid wheels from my Fat Boy and like riding it a lot better now.
