2 Questions one thread
First.....Do cast mags (for example a 1994 Fatboy front wheel) use a spacer in the middle of the two timken bearings like a spoked wheel does?
2. Are flstc or flstf fork springs shorter than standard softail springs. The reason why I ask is because I ordered some springs from a company in stock leg nth for a fatboy and the ones that showed up are the same length as a set of fxst ones

First question: Yes, the Timken bearings have a spacer in all the wheels, cast or laced, to set the end play. It may be a different part number (I'm at work and don't have the parts manual with me).
Second question: don't know right now. Someone else here surely does. It wouldn't surprise me if they used the same springs for both forks with a spacer for one or the other, though.

2) Oem number for FLSTC springs 45931-86
Oem number for FXSTC springs 46048-84
Since they have different part numbers I would think they would be different lengths.
I do know Progressive uses a different length spacer between them.

I saw that they were different part numbers. The damper springs were different part numbers too.
I ordered the different part number dampers and those were the same length as the fxst ones too and those I ordered directly from Harley. I am just second guessing the springs they sent to me (but those I got aftermarket from eastern performance or at least I think that was the company name)

Hey Jason. Yea the spacer is between the bearings and you will need to shim them to get the proper end play of .002"-.006".
As for the spring length. If I can get to the shop tonight I'll measure the length of the stock fatboy spring out of the tubes and list it for you. maybe even some pic's.
