Default Ride wright wheel question

I have a 2006 fxstbi and ordered fat 50s for it and the front fits perfect but the rear pulley bolts bottom out with 1/2 an inch sticking out and it looks like the stock wheel hub is 1/2 wider I emailed them last night but it wana know did anyone else have this problem???? Do I need a spacer or did I get the wrong hub???? I thought they were suppose to bolt right up without spacers

I just got my fat 50's from ride wright. I ordered the rear wheel and pulley and they told me that they would include a 1/2 spacer that was needed for proper fitment. Don't know if you have stock pulley or not but this may be the case.

You need the .500" pulley spacer probably. have you tired lining up the belt with the pulley to see if it hits the splash guard? That will tell you if you need a pulley spacer. Usually 1.75" pulley bolts are used on a softail wheel with a .500" pulley spacer.
