Can anyone tell me if it's possible to put a 2011 xl1200 Sportster rear wheel on a 99 883 Sportster?
It may be possible. However in '04 they went to a rubber mount motor. I know the swing arm changed due to rubber mount motor. I don't know if the width of swing changed for the rear tire. In '99 tire size was 130/90/16 but in '11 it went to 150/80B/16, wider rim. which possibly means wider Swing arm. It may not fit in your swing without tire rub or belt rub. Why the change,looks better?
