right, i just received a pair of duals for my dyna. they seem larger than these. i'll set them side by side later.





it seems like the seller made a mistake when taking pictures. i'm not going to throw them under the bus just yet.

i pulled the link until they verify what went down and remedy the "mix-up"

** Also Note that the 46487-08 - Chrome 883r/1200r fork sliders shown in the auction are for a 25mm axle (can also use 1") and will NOT work out of the box on your 2007 Sportster without changing your 3/4" axle, bearings and enlarging the center of your 13-spoke wheel for the 25mm/1" center spacer sleeve and axle.
thank you. i didn't know that change had happened in 2008. just verified (forum keeps paying dividends)

what guy around town should i hunt down to bore the wheel? a machine guy or start with the dealer?
............ on second thought... an 07 right slider, part 45922-00 is only 139... helluva lot less headache. i'm just going to go ahead and get one and the proper spacers for a dual set up. i'll just overhaul the left leg and powder them both if need be. .... i'm already commited$$$ ordered the calipers, ss lines, master cylinder, and second set of pads already.

thank you again for catching that. i would have been one salty **** if i had of torn down the bike.

Got it. Thanks

That's it for now...but keeping my eye on you

But keep in mind that you'll be addressing the fender mount difference...I assume you're keeping it.
