Default Finally got my front wheel on.
Well after a lot of work, measuring and trying to get it to fit properly, its on. I plan on pulling it back off and PCing all the spacers and lower for legs to get everything up front to match and look better.

Overall I like the way it looks. It was a lot more work to make it fit than I thought it would be. If I had it to do all over again, I probably wouldnt. Id just buy a wheel fit for the bike. Ill end up doing that at some point anyway but for now it does/looks how I wanted.

Ya that is the plan. Just trying to get everything ready so I can take all of the parts to the PC guy at one time.
