Default Heritage Chrome Front End?
I want to do chrome forks on my o7 flstc, I want to go with chrome front wheel spacers but HD parts book says you have to take off the small stock dome hub cap to use these? Does anyone know why? Are these spacers not the same size or shape as the stock ones? Would anyone like to post some pics of their heritage with a chromed out front end?

Thanks,
DCS

Not quite what you are aking. A good option for budget minded dyi'ers.

If it's the same Hub design as my 06 Deluxe then the HUB itself already has a Spacer built in. If you plan on keeping the hub then you wouldn't use the Spacer with the kit for that side. I did exactly that when I did my Chrome Front End. I only used the Brake side Spcacer from the kit.

I did the same as Mike NY I used only the chrome spacer on the left side, and kept the hubcap on the right side because the spacer is built into it.
Now I have a right side spacer with no use for.

The hubcap is the spacer on the right side. And the replacement chrome spacer is the same thickness as the Chrome hubcap on the right, and the chrome spacer on the left is the same as the stock dull spacer.
Harley Part # 41583-03 or #41583-07 depends on your year model on which one to use.
