Very Nice Bikes... Did she opt for the chubby Risers as well or something different?
so, she was looking to increase her reach a bit, so I ordered the 6.5” pull back they list on their site.
During the install, I noticed the female threads on the fork were not plumb.
The dealership has agreed to take care of it, We’re just gonna hold off till the end of the riding season.
anot sure what they’re gonna do to fix it tho
So, My front wheel has been lacking the adequate spacers up until now. For the most part, especially on the right side, these are for mock up purposes.
TC Bros includes spacers with the springer and with the brake caliper. Unfortunately for me the spacers are cut to length for use with 84-99 Wideglide wheels which have a much wider hub than this sporty.
Notice the additional space...
So, for the time being, I will piece together a set of spacers not only to mock the front end up completely but to also use as reference when having the final spacers machined. You can measure as many times as your like but the chances are you will be cutting the spacers then install,remove,grind, repeat.
It is not optimal to use a typical grinding disc to shorten the aluminum spacers but a flap disc works perfectly
I basically had to put a spacer on either side of 8 and 3...
Mounted up rolls very smooth with the brake caliper in place...
Dwayne, are Kevin and/or Devin helping on this project with you, or are you doing this on your own? Really enjoying both your build and Kevin's Sportster build thread too. Different challenges and approaches to those challenges. Gotta be some good folks at DK... Keep those pics and updates coming....... tp dd50
Thanks! I just took a look at your build. That is going to look sick! I love the Wheel choice.

I had to bring the frame up to the shop to have the hard tail section welded on... they helped with that. Also Kevin and I vacillate almost daily at the office about options and parts we can do on our builds. He offers advice as well, any time I need it.
But for the most part, It has just been me and a cheap harbor freight motorcycle jack.
I am actually waiting for the bars and risers to show up so the bike is easier to load and bring to the shop for Devin to weld up the oil bag mounts
(he just doesn't know it yet)
Speaking from a custom parts supplier standpoint, the first word that comes to mind when holding this product is "Quality". The Powder coat finish of the bars and the anodized of the risers is flawless. Additionally the machining of both products is very impressive. You cannot get this quality from imitation "chubby" bars or Riser. I suspect the sticker on the outside of the box is there as a precursor to product's fit and finish.
