Maybe we're talking about different things. There's the chrome strut that comes down the right side from the fender...it acts as a spacer. I can't imagine a rubber hose would be sufficient to keep the wheel from slopping around on the axle. See image
I'm honored.

That chrome fender strut rides/bears on a stationary bushing boss that is about 1 1/8 inch diameter. That bushing boss also acts as a wheel spacer. I slid the chrome fender strut off of the inner bushing and reinstalled the bushing as a wheel spacer and protected the bearing surface with a rubber hose. If you have your wheel off this is easier to visualize.

Dude, I didn't know they made a rake kit for the bones. Looks AWESOME, the lack of rake on the front end of the bones was the only thing that bothered me about the bike.
That is the way HD should have built it, what a difference.
I really dig what you did with the front sigs. You made your own brackets for that ?

Yes I made my own brackets (bent steel) to blend the signals in line with the controls.
