wide glide front end and 21 inch wheel on 07 street bob pictures
black wide glide trees, spacers, axle, and 21 with a 100/90/21 tire.
gonna paint the lowers soon, and battery band... maybe the wheels also.
also going to internally wire bars.
and today my pc3 and arlen ness big sucker came it. it was like christmas to get it all in one day. (could use some help figureing it out)
i also need some help wiht the spacers. looking at the bike from the front angle like the picture i have on here... is the bigger spacer on the right or the left side? i didnt pay attention when removing. because i couldnt get caliper to match up, which kinda leads me to believe i just need to put some sort of spacer on it to make it match up? anyways i just took it off and will ride with no front brake for a day or two til i get it figured out.
ill try and get better pictures int he day light

Looks good mate, I'm gonna throw on some black fat bob trees soon...
Yes it doesn't look centred. Iv'e noticed a few that for some reason haven't got their spacing right and the wheel is offset.
It just looks so wrong when thats the case but being a fitter and turner I notice stuff like that that some others don't.

Oh, and anytime referring to left or right of a motorcycle it is always as you are seated on it.

I like the look of the new front end, the front tire seems to be offset towards the brake caliper side. If you get the parts reference for a bike with the same front end setup, the parts manual will tell you the spacer sizes and part numbers then can get just those spacers from the dealer. There is at least one company selling a spacer kit with multiple sizes but is expensive and most of the time you only need two of them.

Here's what I used: 2006 Wide Glide parts; 21" wheel, upper and lower triple clamps, axle, axle spacers.
From a hardware store: 3/4" spacers and 3/4" longer stainless Allen head bolts for mounting the fender, and stainless washers for shimming (.040" for the caliper & .090" for the rotor) to center the caliper over the rotor.
Use other existing hardware from your bike (axle nut and washer, triple clamp pinch bolts, head bearings nuts and washer, fender nuts, forks, etc.).
I bought the parts from Zanotti's back in June of 06.
Here are the Harley Davidson part numbers and Zanotti prices:
P/N 46700-06 Upper Triple Clamp.....$ 65.75
P/N 46386-06 Lower Triple Clamp....$139.83
P/N 40923-06 Front Axle..................$ 28.39
P/N 40926-06 RH/FRT Spacer.............$ 4.58
P/N 40927-06 LH/FRT Spacer.............$ 4.58
Total..$243.13
Update: 4/3/08
Axle spacers above are also available in a chrome tapered version P/N 41410-06 Chrome Tapered Front Wheel Spacer Kit $23.51
Original Wide Glide tire replaced with only 7,300 miles on it (Not much tread left). Replaced it with a Avon Venom AM41 90/90-21, widest tire (3.70") I could find that will fit the Wide Glide Profile rim.

It looks like your wheel is centered, you just need to center the caliper over the rotor. Info below in bold text.
