Default 1984 softail wheels

ok so I bought my new rim and its been so long I cant remember ..the speedo drive is the left side spacer (when sitting on the bike ) now the right side ( while sitting on the bike) the spacer should go against the fork leg . Is their any spacers that go between the speedo drive and the fork leg? shims , I just need a picture if possible b4 I go buy another repair manual for the one thing I have an issue with . the wheel is sittin .25 to the throttle side . I need to kick it over to the right side .25 inch and the only way I can see doing it is by shimming the speedo drive side .. any help would be great

thanx
Big Craig
