Default Can anybody check this for me PLEASE !

I just had the tires on my 2012 Fatboy changed. I noticed that the front wheel spacers are different. One spacer has three grooves around the circumference of the spacer and the other spacer has two grooves around the circumference of the spacer.

Can anybody please go look at their front wheel and tell me if the three groove spacer goes on the right or left side of the wheel?
The mechanic installed the three groove spacer on the right side of the front wheel, but my tire is closer to the fender on the right side of the bike.

As long as the brake rotor lines up with the caliper you're good to go.

I'm pretty sure your mechanic wouldn't be able to install those spacers the wrong way .......the wheel wouldn't fit cause the rotor wouldn't line up with the caliper.

I'm sure someone with a fanboy will chime in soon

If the brake caliper lines up with the disc, Id assume he did it right.

Yeah guys I just got done looking at the front wheel and you guys are correct. The brake rotor wouldn't line up at all if he had installed them incorrectly.
Thanks for the quick replies.
