Mud, have you got the original size picture?
I'd like to see a close-up of the bottom gage. Just to see how it's mounted.
Thanks!

"How do you check for roundness?".
Dial indicators are mounted in a variety of ways.
Let me know, I could go out and take a pic of one of my mounts.
I shopped in the little red SportSter just to see if anyone would comment.
No one has.

Bigbird......It doesn't take anything to make the 21 inch fit the Dyna front forks. I used the same axle and the same spacer(s) used with the cast wheel.
The 21 inch wheel came off a late model Sportster, 2000 and newer.......pg

Rudedog.....To check for radial runout I use a simple rod bent 90 degrees in place of the dial indicator. Or, like mudpuddle said, use a dial indicator. Just clamp in so it points vertical rather than horizontal used to check lateral runout......pg

Yeah, I'd like a close up of the other dial mount. Whenever is good enough for me.

RE: Wheel true stand
That's good Mudp. I was wondering how you did the change up. I had tried Photoshop awhile back but it was more than I could master. That program is so large that I don't think anyone can completely master it. It must be a life long learning experience.
The photos that I post are taken with Nikon SLR cameras. I use Capture NX to process the photos and reduce the file size for posting. All of my shots are taken in RAW (Nikon calls it an NEF file) and then processed with Capture.The photos are then just taken from a folder to post, so no scanning is required.
Capture NX cannot do the things Photoshop is capable of however. It just works well with Nikon gear.............pg
