Default Spacer for headlight.

Hey Guys,

I have a Kraytor Quarter fairing that I will be putting on my 06 Dyna, I understand that to make this work I may have to put a spacer in the headlight of about 2 inches.

If I get a 4 inch 3/8 bolt and a couple of 3/8 two inch spacers will this be ok to raise the headlight enough to make it work?

I am tight on time as I leave the US for Dublin this afternoon and need to pick up this morning before I leave. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

Mike

As a temporary fix. But the more joints you have the more vibration will affect it. And it'll probably shake off.

Memphis Shades has spacers for their fairings that will probably work

I totally understand the shaking however is that now what the after market part is that you buy from over priced retailers? I have seen that you can buy the block and bolt and pay quite a bit for them...

If you order a kit you get a 2" spacer. So buy a spacer, That is what I did and it works fine.

No, it's a longer block.
