wheel spacers - which go where?
Got new rubber on today, went back to install and I have 4 spacers with what seems like endless possibilities.
I have about 3 diff sizes and I'm trying to find diagram online.
99 fxdx.
Thanks for any help!

The two that are the same size should go to your front wheel.
Take a look at your rear wheel and see which side has more distance to the bearing, probably the right side, so your longer one should go there and the short one to the opposite.
Here's a little tip:
If your calipers won't line up with the bolt holes you've got it wrong.

I may not know what I'm talking about so use your best judgement, this is the Internet and I am NOT a French model.

It LOOKS strait. front seems ok, same size spacers
The rears sprocket bolts now hit the belt guard bolt. Also I went 16/140 in the rear and it rubs the belt guard. I was told it would only happen if backing up the bike...
The larger spacer is on the right b.c it looks like I need the space for the caliper, however I think I'm going to swap them and see how it works.

Guys I'm having a bit of trouble. I have a short spacer that fits into the wheel on the drive side. Then I have a long spacer that could go on either side. Can someone share some knowledge with me?
