Additionally Max, the Touring hub is another 1-1/4" wider (approx) ... so more difference than what he shows

Yeah, Keep rubbing it in... Good to know tho.. True be it that I really don't know much about 06 up dyna except that they don't handle as well as the early ones .. I suspect that the bike may have been crashed at one time and front tubes bent.. The assemblies were replaced with ones off a WG.

Or, somewhere there's another bike running around with stacks of washers between the slider and caliper...

Something like this might work in my drillpress...

Like this. I did both sides in this case just to clean off the powder coat.

Good job

Maybe take a measurement from center of axle to top of fork tube cap.
