front end mod almost complete all machining done and powder coated handle bars all wiring done, but i am at a delima, should I space the caliper or the rotor?. Back in the day I used to space the rotor because round machining was easier but now either way is just as easy...

Just did mine, and spaced the rotor and the caliper as WS6 said to do in his thread used .04" for caliper and .09" for rotor. put me with caliper centered over rotor.

Are the details in this thread the same for someone converting their FXD trees to Fat Bob Trees? I'm guessing the original trees on a street bob are the same as on an FXD, but wanted to check before I buy the Fat Bob Trees.
Cheers.

does the WG have any rake in the Triple trees? I want a fatbob wide front tire and would love to get a little less angle and throw a fat tire up there. it should handle a little better also.
