Question FatBob front axle spacers on 21"

1980 FXEF-80. Putting back together from boxes. I'm sure I'm missing a wheel spacer. FatBob front axle spacers on 21"-image-1.jpg

Speedo side has plenty of space and appears proper. Opposite side is inset and when put together fork leg touches rotor. Ideas?

I have the FX Parts catalog but since my uncle had put a 21" wheel on it, my guess is he might not have used stock spacers.

Thanks,
J

Default Spacers

Just had the same problem last week put a 80 spoke 16" wheel with duel disk on my 79 FXS and what I finally had to do is get a bunch of 3/4 washers 3 different thickness and mix and match till I got it right and had spacers cut to the specs of the washers. The left side was barely hitting the rotor so I had space the fork tube out 10/1000. Took it for a ride and seemed fine.
