    hi Folks, I have heard a number of times that the front wheel from a Breakout will fit a Softail Standard. Can anybody confirm this - and what specifically are the changes required? Are there any limitations on the year / model? My FXST is a twin cam 103, 2014. My spoked wheel rim is 3.25x21" and the tire is MH90-21 (equivalent to 80/90-21). Research indicates the Breakout wheel rim is 3.5x21" and the tire is 130/60-21. Seems the tire will be 130-80=50mm wider). My front mudguard has some extra width but would I need a new mudguard?

    I understand that a "spacer kit" can be purchased, which permits the Breakout wheel hub to fit correctly between the fork sliders. What about the brake disc rotor? Will it be in the correct position for my existing FXST brake caliper?

    Please let me know if anybody can provide specific details based on your experience.
