Thanks J

Wide Glide left slider has a different offset for the caliper mount then the other Dyna's, you have to use washers for shimming (.040" for the caliper & .090" for the rotor) to center the caliper over the rotor.

I plan on getting som shims to make up the difference. Should solve the problem (I hope).

Thanks!!! That was some damn fine advice there sir!!
