I am in the process of installing a Fatboy 16" front wheel onto my 06 Standard-thanks Agapsdiver for the post on "how-to". I am going at it a bit different. I got a piece of 3/4" stainless tubing from Fastenal and had a guy with a machine shop cut my spacers. They worked out good.
Now I am needing to space out the brake rotor. I see listed on ebay sprocket spacers in different thicknesses, since I need 1/4" I though about just ordering one of those. Can anyone tell me for sure if the bolt pattern is the same? It sure looks the same, but I didn't want to fool around taking the rear wheel off to remove the sprocket to measure closely for sure.
If you have a Fastenal store nearby, they can be a very good resource. I got a 6" piece of stainless tubing, 3/4" inside, 1/8" wall, for $10. Iwas concerned that it might have a seam, but when it came it was seamless and so smooth and true it didn't even need polishing.

 

Good to know (about Fastenal).
2000 and up are all the same....supposedly!

 

Here's what you need....

Drop down box will show the 1/4"

 

That's a cool site.

 

that'll make a unique ride

 

Thanks for the tip on the spacer-looks like just what I need. I can't hardly fool around for the time it would take to fabricate one when I can order it for $14.
You da man!!
Now, can you direct me to a budget priced Fatboy fender? I didn't want to have to paint one, I was hoping to find a take-off.

 

This is what I used...at $79.99 bare metal can't beat the price..
The color of my bike is hard to find...2003 Anv. Gunmetal Pearl (blue)...
But I found a local small paint shop.. some young kid just starting out.. and
cost me $35 to paint.... I can't complain.

The fender is an OEM replacement by Custom Chrome part 78312 , (Steel Front Fender for FatBoy Models) (top right on link below)

Ordered my disc spacer this AM, that was painless....about $20 with shipping. Local dealer has a "swap meet" coming up Jan 10th, think I'll wait and see if I can find a take-off fender there before I order a new raw steel one.

I see Vulcan also has axle spacers-if I had known that before I made these up, that would have been easier and about the same $$$. Longer bolts should be in at Fastenal tomorrow.

Should have this alteration done well before riding season kicks off again. 5 below zero here today.
