Default disc centering in caliper mount bracket

Hi,

so i destroyed my rear wheel from a bearing failure, 2010 fxdwg

have now got a 2015 streetbob rear wheel which is same part number I believe, from checking on Ronnies it looks like will fit my 2010 ok.

have changed rubber, pressed in bearings etc and fitted up

the rotor is just touching the left side of the caliper mount bracket and needs to move right about 1-1.5mm (after alignment, belt tension check and axle nut tighten)

whats the best way for this now, can you shim brake rotor? or get new left and right axle spacer (this will move pulley over too?)

thnks

I'd check to see if the wheel is centered first. If it is then a shim spacer should work. If not look for better fitting axle spacers.

Thanks Jay, will check service manual

Wondering if the crush tube maybe smaller as well between the wheels. Get started on getting the wheel off.
