Bigbird......All you need to do is measure your hub width. A narrowglide like my Dyna 2003 is 4 1/2 inches (approx) out/out on the bearings, where a wideglide is close to 6 1/2 inches out/out.
If you have a wideglide front fork it will be easy to locate a 21 inch wheel and I think it should bolt on just fine.
The narrowglide 21 inch is harder to find because (I guess) the only 21 inch wheels that I am aware of came on wideglides. Like I had said, my wheel came off a late model Sportster, and it bolted on perfectly..............pg

Yeah, I'd like a close up of the other dial mount. Whenever is good enough for me.
A picture of one of mine is below dog.

Go to this page http://www.mcmaster.com/ then type 2129 into the FIND box.

There are a bunch of holders on this page.

The setup in my picture is on page 2126, the Starrett plunger style indicator with various holders.
Bet the new kit is shiny, mine is at least 30 years old.

Other stuff on pages 2122 - 2129

That's good Mudp. I was wondering how you did the change up.

The photos that I post are taken with Nikon SLR cameras.

OK pGear, the RAW format and the processing explains why the images seem unusual to me.

Yeah, PhotoShop is an amazing software. Way beyond my little peabrain to ever master.

Been working with it for 5-6 years, learn what I need or want to know as I go along.

Rudedog......Here are a few more shots of the bracket I made up to hold the dial indicator for the radial runout. It shows how both simply clamp on where you want to put them.Very simple to construct.........pg
