I was wondering if it is possible to put an '08 AW wheel on an '09 DX? Looking to purchase one, powdercoat it black, and run my stock rotors on it. Has anyone tried this?

Is that the spoke wheel?

 

[AOW]

it will work, direct bolt on including axel size

Yes sir.

it will work, direct bolt on including axel size

And I can reuse my stock brake rotor?

 

[morvegil]

Yes sir.




And I can reuse my stock brake rotor?

Nope rotors are different. Shaggyhou has some though.

I like the spoke front wheels powdercoated! looks great.

 

[AOW]

I don't believe there is a difference in rotors. I know the calipers are a different color, but the rotors should be the same.

Rotors are different. The spoked wheel uses a traditional H-D 5 bolt pattern rotor (common to Dyna and Softail models) where as the solid disc wheel uses the V-rod specific rotors (and maybe the new tourer's?) except the '08 and up AW and VRSCX model which use the above mentioned rotor.

So what are my options with aftermarket rotors? The stock AW ones are friggin hideous.

 

[VanislVrod]

they are frikin nappy looking i agree!
