Default Switchback front end project

Ok guys ,does anybody have a part number for a disc (rotor) spacer kit so I can use my stock mid glide wheel on a switchback front end ? Failing that anyone know the size difference in the hubs ? Or tell me what size spacer I'll need ? ...... FSKITCH sure you'll be able to point me in the right direction ! ;-)
Cheers
Phog

Phog-you should continue to use the original post to ask questions and show your project. We're going to need pictures too.
Heres a link to a spacer I bought a couple years ago.

Before I went with the FL front I used Fat Bob trees with stock 49mm street bob forks with a 16" softail wheel. The way I figured I needed a 1/4" Pulley/rotor spacer was set the wheel in place with the rotor attached to the wheel and sliding an axle through and clamping the caliper to the rotor. Measure what I needed to get the tire dead center. In my case the 1/4" spacer did the trick. Once you figure how much you need for spacing search eBay-they have all sizes. In your search use the key words **" harley rotor spacer. Also may need to use key word **" harley pulley spacer.
Check out this area of the forum for FL dynas https://www.hdforums.com/forum/group...est-group.html
Lots of good info for ya.

I don't know if this will help or not. But I have a set of softail slim wheels in my garage for my next project and the front hub is 6.5". I think thats what a switchback front end accepts-but I believe softail wheels are laced with an off set. Or maybe this just ads to the confusion.

1/12... If you meant 1-1/2"...that would be a bit on the "Too wide" side
