Rear spacer size for chain conversion on a 2011 FXDB?
Gonna be doing a chain conversion on my bike and wanted to know if anyone had done it already on a later year street bob? I have been piecing everything together and am gonna go with PBI sprockets and an EK chain, but I was told I will need a spacer for the rear sprocket to line up right. Anyone happen to know what size?

I talked to zippers and they said they aren't 100% sure (which I don't see why they wouldn't be since they sell the kits for 06+ dynas) but for the new dynas a .600 spacer in the rear is required so the chain doesn't rub. I haven't got all my parts in yet so I can't confirm this. I am still trying to find someone who has actually successfully converted to chain and see what size they used. What year is yours?

That seems kind of big in the rear as far as a spacer bro. Ive heard from a couple different companys that you wanna try and get most of the offset from the sprocket and not a spacer especially if that much space is needed. I guess it is easier for the bolts to back out when you use a spacer that big. Maybe look into a dish sprocket with a smaller spacer. Just what I have been told...

using a 7/8" spacer + sprocket is still thinner than an oem fxdb pulley.
The oem 7/16 bolts are 2-5/8" long and ill be using an ARP 2" long bolt.
id go with real world vs "yeah this might work" information.

first of all ZIPPERS isn't going to "give" you that info its proprietary. You have to "buy" it from them.
