I reached out to that dude already. Ofcourse my luck he doesn't make them for the rocker anymore.

I'm gonna look into that as well. Thanks for going through the trouble Laid.

There is a bike show locally on October 19th. I was hoping to be done by then so I could ride my bike to it. It's not looking too good right now.

When I mocked up the spacers for the front wheel today the exhaust side spacer looked like it was gonna be too short.

Sorry this took so long but here it is (went out of the house for a bit)

and another quote from trust, he's still around on the forums so he might be able to give you a heck of a hand with the axle. I used hhi's axle and wideglide spacers for the fat 50's (trying to get an answer on what spacers to get was a huge deal like 8 phone calls if i rememeber correctly)

So basically TRUSTNOBODY put a sleeve in the fork leg, then ran the smaller axle end through that. That's a good idea, you just need to find a machine shop that can make you a sleeve to fit in there.

I'm not sure what he means about flush mounts with their "allen bolt design". There is no allan bolt on my flush mount? You use a 3/4" socket on the end of it to tighten it up.

Yep, I just got a pm from him and that's what he suggested. I just don't know where I'm gonna go to find a piece of metal stock with those dimmentions he gave me for the inner diameter .750 mm and outer diameter 25 mm (I'm guessing that outside diameter measurement is in inches) ?

Turns out my next door neighbor has a lathe in his garage. Didn't need to search for a machine shop!!!! Another shout out to my neighbor Bob lolol.

Here is the sleeve we made. O.d. Is 25 mm and i.d. Is .750. Those are the dimensions I got from TRUSTNOBODY.
We didn't cut the sleeve to length yet since I don't have the breakout axle (Gonna go on Monday and see if the stealer has one in stock) and I want to make sure we don't cut it too short.

Cross yer fingers !!
