Default ----Having Some Troble With Spacing DEUCE Ryders-----

I have a 07 deuce and im doing some mods and i have got some great information here so im tring for some more! please! I have a 18x5.5 rim with a mitz 880 on and doing some reading on here they say"no mods no mods" But for the life of me i cant get the tire lined up straight without a good rubbing on the belt! So mind you its my first bike and my inexperience and my will to do this mostly myself might be fing me right now, but hell.So I was thinking to put washers between the rim and pully to bring that out, i have about 1/4in between pully and swing arm right now! And shave down the spacer and hope wal laa im off and riding! What do you guys think!

I"m getting the Hog Pro kit which uses the 20mm belt ,pulley and guard to fit the 18x5.5 wheel tire in the swing arm.

18 x 5.50" Hogster wheel and Avon or Metzler 200 rear tire. Also includes Hogpro Design Chrome Billet Pulley, stainless splash guard, chrome upper belt guard and 20MM Harley Belt. Made in USA! A direct bolt on to your Deuce with stock swingarm.

I had an 18x 5.5 revtech wheel with a metzler 880 on my '06 Deuce, I used a rear brake caliper from a HD wide tire kit, the rest of the shims were stock.
so at the very least you will need to shave the rear caliper...

I have the HogPro 18 x 5.5", but I'm only running a 180 Metzeler ME880. It's tight, but it's fine with no spacers, etc.
