Replacing Rear Wheel
Due to an untimely sprocket bolt failure I am having to replace the rear sprocket and wheel on my ride. So far I've got a new Harddrive chrome rear 70T sprocket, a 3/4" sprocket spacer (what was needed if not replacing the wheel but since I do a different spacer may be needed), some grade 8 bolts, and am looking at ordering a 16" x 5.5" big spoke rim and a 180/65 - 16 Night Dragon tire. Thinking I should order an axle spacer kit as I expect the hub width will be different. Anyone spot issues or other parts that I am missing? I plan to reuse the rotor.

Yeah, the two of us have talked about it. I think the issues he found solutions for are not as prevalent in aftermarket wheels though as most I found don't have the counterbore for the pulley bolts. It is strange though that Harley put that counterbore in there but doesn't use bolts with a long enough shoulder to sink in the counterbore. Also, measuring the bore width in the new spacer and pulley has them at much closer tolerances to the width of the new bolts than the harley pulley did. I'll get some comparison measurements up soon.
