Ok, I'm not at all high tech and the photos are from my OL's phone so they aren't the best but if they actually make it through take a look. If you are using a 21" wheel it's different than using a stock 19" wheel as far as the spacers are concerned.

I used the front wheel from a softtail so had to change the bearings and have the axle spacers machined to fit. You should be able to get away with just ading a 3/4 " spacer to both sides and a spacer for you rotor.

Default Fat Bob trees

I almost outbid you on those fat bob trees on ebay today, but decided to just buy the powder coated ones from harley for 200. keep us posted on your progress, as I will be getting my parts in soon and doing a similar mod using a 2010 wide glide wheel.

Glad to hear you scored the trees, not a bad deal either. Get to work!

That looks fantastic Tom, great job. Then again, the HD isn't the only badass ride in that garage...

I was watching that on ebay also, wanting to put a fat tire up front of my Street Bob. Will be watching your build.
