Hey guys.
This isn't Panhead specific but the wheel will be on a Panhead.
I have a 19" Narrow Glide front wheel. I'd like to convert it to Wide Glide to make Springer selection easier (most are designed for Wide Glide hubs) because I want to run a front brake kit.
I found a 21" wide Glide hub. Could I lace my 19" hoop to the 21" hub with existing spokes?
Thx!!

I doubt the spokes would work. When I did one last, the wide glide hubs didnt fit. Ended up with a sportster wheel and disc brake.

You mean wide Glide hubs didn't fit your front end or do u mean you've tried to do what I'm talking about? Just swapping hubs?
