Sorry my bad. I meant what size spacers I would need to fit the wheel between the legs. I already changed to a 3/4 wheel spacer.

I don't, it's been a few years. We just grabbed some from the shop until they fit. As far as the brake goes I put a Wilwood on mine. Not much more money for a better brake..

Update...I have my wheel mounted, front brake installed and wheel spacers installed. Now i don't know what type of front fender i should get. My rear is the chopped bobtail. For my front should i go with a touring/heritage front fender or i was looking at a long boy wrap around fender from DK. What you guys think?

I had that very same wheel on my '09 Dyna, and did a wrap around fender. Personally, I think you'll love the look..

Dug up and old pic for ya, for reference..

So I haven't done much on the bike lately....been kinda stumped. I mounted my wheel but I don't like the fact it is off center. I cant center the wheel and mount my brake caliper. Just too tight to the lower leg. So what do I do? Im debating going back to my original front end and possibly just getting some new wheels.....maybe a set of new sinister big daddy spoke wheels, or possibly a 23"er up front. I posted in a couple other threads trying to get some answers...thanks to those who did respond, I appreciate it very much. Anybody else got any ideas on the fitment? is a pre 2000 fatboy front end the same width as the newer models? Anybody put a 21" wheel on a 99 fatboy?

Doug
