Well i bought those chrome fxdwg sliders off of ebay, How are they going to fit my 49mm forks? They arent,so i guess i bought the wrong chit,dam it! 08 fxdwg forks are 41mm and so are the sliders.
The reason why i went with wg sliders is so i wouldnt have to space out the caliper,but now im back to sqaure one with parts i dont need!

Do yourself a favor next time.....ask here or Vtwin first...but now you know that... So put em back on ebay...that's what I do. I bought a TMAX tuner...decided against it and sold it on ebay for 10% more than I paid. You can make lemons into lemonade on ebay.
