RE: White walls and mag wheels question
Went by the dealer today and looked at the1200 XL wheel. The parts guy said it would not fit my RKC because of the belt sprocket and axel. Not to worry, I didn't believe him. There was also a Fat Boy wheel on display that looked identicle to the 1200 XL. Are they the same wheel? I see the XL wheel is a right hand drive so I assume you simply reverse the wheel, correct? And thanks for letting me know about this wheel, you are going to save me a few hundred dollars.

Yes, the wheel is turned one way on the Sportsters and the other for the Touring and Softails. The wheel is nondirectional so it doesn't matter which way its turned. There were a few years of Fatboys that ran this wheel also. When I started crossing part numbers in the HD Part Catalog to find what would work on mine and talking to a few helpful service(not parts) guys, I found that the same rear wheel would work from 00-05 Dyna's, 00-02 Softails(except Deuces), 00-06XL'sand 00-06 Touring models with the exception of the different axle sizes. Found that the OD of the bearings is the same whether they are a 3/4 or a 1" ID so they can be changes out. The 2002 and newer Touring and the 2005 and newer XL are the only one's that have the 1" already installed though, any others are 3/4".

i installed a lightningstar rear wheel on my 06 ultra that was made for a sportster,you will need to enlarge the center of the wheel to accept the 1inspacer.a sportster wheel has a 3/4 axle,thus the meat in the middle part of the wheel isnt big enough for a 1in.spacer.

my dad hsa 'gangster whites' on his Ultra Classic. He has the OEM 9-spoke mags and it looks pretty good.
We also have a set of the 9-spoke wheels that are @ the powdercoater...I looked (a lot), and I think that I found a powder that will match his 'glacier white' paint pretty well. They should be done early next week, and as long as they look like we expect, they are getting a set of the wide white walls from HD (the ones with Harley Davidson written on the sidewall). We'll see.

I don't think that you needed to enlarge the hub...they make a thin walled spacer that would work. I have two of them sitting here @ the house.
