thread where??? I went to your page and saw a build you had on a rocker with numerous parts but didn’t see anything with triple tree or forks etc.. so you used the original rocker front and just changed the spacers?

No parts are listed because yes, stock front end and yes, new spacers or turning down the originals will be needed. The fender was my biggest issue, I had to have one custom made because I wanted to keep the wheel/tire offset (like stock), not centered between the forks. That info is in the thread also..https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...od-thread.html

Ran a 130 on 21x3.5" rim Avon Cobra.
Stock Deuce front fork and fender.

Filled in nice. No issues. You can really notice the larger tire.
A couple people have asked, "is that a 19" front wheel"?

200 rear and the 'chicken strip" is less than a 1/4' so I can lay this bike over well.

Can't even find the tire anymore? "Venom"?
Now they have the Cobra Chrome and only see 120.

Would have run a wider 19 but they did not have any when I got the wheels.

Want to +1 on the front of the 2020 FXDR
a 260 rear fits.
coming up on5k but the tires look OK?

so just grind down the spacers correct ? When the stock wheel is mounted I see that it is more towards the left side (looking at the wheel front view)(opposite side of the caliper).. it’s not straight in the middle.. correct .. also on the duese center console I see that you have the one with 2 bolts that mount down by the seat.. and i only see one bolt on the bottom of mines ? I have an 08 rocker...
