Victory front tire fit 2011 vaquero?

New question!
Has anyone tried putting a factory front tire from a 2014 victory cross country 18" onto their bike? If not do you think it would fit?
I can get my buddies cheap because he is putting a 21".
Opinions welcome! He is going to put on eBay if I don't get back to him.

A Victory CC front tire is a 130/70R18 Dunlop Elite 3

What size is your front tire?

3 things you will need to know
1) what size axle does it take.......... Your Vaquero has a 1"
2) the distance between the rotors
3) the diameter of the rotors

He might have been but that's not what he typed.

The rotors are 300x5mm. The distance from the outside surface of each rotor is 7 1/8 inches as measured with a tape measure. I just measured my 2014 cross country tour, it is the same as the 2012.
I don't know the front axle diameter.

Seems to me since you have both the bike you want to put it on and the wheel at the moment, pull the front wheel of the Valquero and start checking the differences as well as a trial fit/ mock up, axle size, distance between the rotors size of the rotors, fender spacing etc. Might not be a straight bolt on, but if not some machine work or custom spacers and it probably could be done.
