Default Help w/ Installation of Front Bearing Spacers of different widths on 06 FXDLI

On my 2006 FXDLI the two front bearing spaces on my bike are not of equal width. There is not a huge difference in the widths but once they are off and sitting next to each other it is noticeable. I can't find any reference in the manual as to which side the wider one would go on. In a picture in the manual it looks like the wider one might go on the left side, same side as the front brake but it could just be the angle of the picture.

Only thing I found in the manual was... "Install spacers (2, 9) with largest chamfered end facing away from wheel."

Oh and this one.... "Verify that axle spacers (1) on right and left side are properly installed."

But the important one I missed was during the removal..."Label all components so they may be installed in their original locations."




Does anyone know or could someone take a quick look at the spacers on their 06 FXDLI and see if they can tell? Much appreciated!!!

I don't see any reason the bob and low rider spacers would be any different. On the brake side it will go. Thanks for the help.
