hey bobber do you have any idea how far you had to space the front caliper? im hoping if i can figure that out i can space the rotor instead and and leave the caliper where it is to help he line up the front wheel.

It's funny you should say so, I've been away from the forums for a few days and I saw your pictures on Instagram and I posted a comment asking about your battery cover. Welp, guess I got my answer. Your bike is really coming out sweet. Nice work!

as of right now i used (4) 3/8" ID washers for the top and (4) on bottom temporarily until i get some spacers made...im just waiting on getting the last of the brake parts so i can mount the right side and get those measurements also

Awesome thanks. If my googling of washer thickness is correct that's about 1/4inch, I know Dennis Kirk sells rotor spacers in that thickness for about 10 bucks.
Your bikes really got me jonesen to get these wheels on my bike. I've hit a slight snag every machine shop into area that me or my Indy has contacted says they are only set up for CNC work and won't drill my hubs out. So my new plan is a step drill bit and a drill and try and do it myself.

Your bike looks unbelievable. I'm scraping the money together to fix my front end. When you've got the caliper mounted post up some pix and your final spacer sizes please.
