Default 2005 Fat Boy - Need to Switch Caliper Side
A buddy picked up a set of used wheels and had them refinished. It wasn't cheap. The problem is that I'm guessing these were taken off a bike with a single right-side caliper - or maybe a dual-caliper bike.

If I can move the rotor to the right side, the wheel will work.

Does anyone know of a Model/Year that used a right-side caliper mount that will fit an '05 Fat Boy?

I think it would be easier to answer this if you could post a photo of the wheel.

Move the rotor and 180 the rim. If the tire is directional, remount it.

Until this thread starts making sense, it makes No Sense ... maybe it was never intended to make sense
