Default Oil tank back from PC and Installed

Bike has been tore down since November and its starting to take shape. Still waiting for the fenders and tank to get back from paint. The oil tank turned out great black and I installed SS braided oil lines. First time working with the braided lines and it takes patience. Let me know what you think.

Question on the front end:
I replaced the lower fork legs with a set off a twin cam (00-07). I have a twin cam caliper on the way. Anyone know what size wheel spacers I will need to align the caliper and rotor? Looks like the wheel needs to shift to the left 1/4". Does anyone have the measurements on stock 00-07 Softail front wheel spacers. Im thinking the 84-99 have different spacers.

On my '04 Standard they are 1" on the left (rotor) side, and .850 on the right.

Thanks guys. I got the braided lines, hose clamps and the 3 line organizer from J&P Cycles. The lines were made by Drag Specialties. My front caliper will be here Monday so I can sort out the front wheel spacers.
