Awesome thank you. I measured mine and I'm at about 8" I think. Since yours is a wide glide hub on fat bob trees was it hard ton center the wheel between the forks? My wheel is a touring hub. So I assume I'll have to make up some new spacers.
My front wheel is actually a touring wheel as well, it's a 2012 road glide Airstrike 18x3.5 with a 130 width tire. No issues at all, stock spacers centered the wheel just fine. Pretty sure wide glide, fat bob, and touring all use same width trees so I'd assume the wheel hubs are also the same. Maybe someone else can confirm that...
That's awesome to hear. I was just going by the listing for the wheel I bought said not a stock replacement for wide glide front end but maybe that's because it's a 23" wheel and to tall for the fender. That would be awesome for it to bolt up with the stock spacers I got for a wide glide.
Wide glide or fat bob trees will give you proper spacing as mentioned above. Depends how much rake your lookomg for. With the 23 I'm guessing the wide glide would b a better option. Keep us up on the updates. Feel free to check out my build, might have some helpful info for you
That looks nice, but I'm not seeing any brake calipers up front. Something hidden?
With the setup I am running, 21"x3.25" wheel with Fat Bob tree (-1 degree of rake), wide glide/softail hub with 25mm bearing, stock legs and stock 25mm axle spacers (stock means from the 2010 Street Bob it is) and a wide glide/fat bob axle, I was able to keep my trail extremely close to stock and the disk/calipers lines right up. I am not sure how much the trail would change with a 23" and the added 3 degrees of rake from the Wide Glide trees.
