front chrome tapered spacers question
Hey all, have a question on these chrome tapered front wheel spacers. I bought some to finish up some front end work I'm doing and I noticed something different, my stock spacers are different widths, but the new chrome tapered ones to me look identical, I didn't mic em but I put them on a table with a level and the bubble was zeroed. Does that sound right? I put em on my front axle and tightened everything down, everything seems to line up, although if you ask me the tire is just a hair more towards the left portion of the front fender. I bought the ones for 06 dynas and since I have a streetbob they are suppose to fit.
I'm just wondering if any of you have these and if they came packaged the same size because stock is about a 1/4 inch difference. I'm at work so I can't take a photo right now but can tomorrow if need be.
Here is the link that I bought, although the pic is either misleading because it appears ever so slightly different sizes between the two or my package had been manipulated
and I got two of the thicker spacers.

I have ordered these spacers on two separate occasions and installed them on two different 06 Dynas. In both cases, the left and right side spacers were of different thicknesses.

Well Amigo, thanks again for your help. I am gonna call the harley dealership I bought em from, ordered over the internet and have them check em out. I wonder if somebody did a return and I got a box with two of the same size in em. I thought it looked a bit odd.
How's that weather up there, you get a chance to pull your ride out of the garage yet?

I recently made my first online pruchase from Latus. They screwed up a couple issues with the billing. I was so impressed with their efforts to fix things. It was my best customer service experience yet with a Harley dealer. They are now my sole online source for OEM parts. Hope your experience is equally as good as you deal with this.

Appreciate the feedback fellas,
Yea I've dealt with Latus before, took a tad bit longer than I had hoped to get my order to the door but hey they stock a lot of oem stuff, and overall, I've dealt with them a number of times, no problems. Dealt with Brandon down in Tampa too, and they were fantastic. This order was from Milwaukee HD, so if the trend continues hopefully they'll get it all straightened out, can't see why they wouldn't, I got the web receipt.
John, couldn't help myself, had to look at your photos on your link there and damn
if that chrome shined any more I'd had to call my eye doctor for new retinas, look real good.
Glad to see you got a little saddle time....
