21" wheel for an 08 softail deluxe
#11
I just ordered some DNA's as well 21" x 3.5. So I'm assuming it doesn't come with spare 25mm spacers. BLKnCHRME09Deluxe do you recall what size spacers you used to get it all to line up?

Blackchrome_ I to just suffered from the disapointment of my DNA wheel wheel not properly fitting my 08' Deluxe. First problem was wrong size bearing from DNA so I ended up running down the Harley shop to get new ones pressed in cause I want the wheel on the bike..... Installed the wheel everything worked except the wheel wouldn't spin....Anyway, you know the story.....
Could you direct me on where to buy a correct spacer and what size it needs to be, since we have similar bikes.
Thanks

Ive just recently done my DNA rim with the help of BlacknChrome. He personally said he had to get diff. spacers to complete project but didnt have info on sizes. With that I was expecting to do some measuring.
Im fortunate mine was a direct bolton. I have an 08 deluxe also with 3" by 21" rim, specified a 1" bearing while ordering.. thank god they didnt goof that up. I mocked up the fit with stock spacers in expecting to go down dealer to get diff. spacers. Stock ones fit so I bought chrome kit that fit our bike. The only issue I had was the disk rotor was not deadcenter of caliper, more toward inside of caliper. I put a spacer at caliper mount to get it deadcenter. Could this be your problem? I attached pics..

I don't think thats my problem because the rim wouldn't spin with the caliper on or off. I measured the hub width to the original wheel and there is a 5/16 increase. I believe this is my problem, when the axle is torque properly, the wheel will barely spin but when the nut is loose the wheel spins fine. It's puzzling. I agree, these companies that can't service there customesr with own products..... It's sad......
I was hoping someone could tell me where to buy spacers at?

About the spacers... if youre accurate and confident with your measurement and your rotor is somewhat centered. you can bring your spacers down to dealer or any shop with a lathe to get them cut down. Might get lucky and the mechanic has some in his bins
