Front wheel ??
Ok... Not sure what is wrong here. We purchased a 2001 1200c Sportster with a new front wheel. 21 * 2.15. But the brake caliper is rubbing on the spokes?!?!?! Is it the wrong caliper? Or do we need a new spacer kit? Or is this the wrong wheel? It can be a duel disc... but only has the one now. Thanks in advance.

You may need to post up a pic or two of this. Usually, the first thing you will run into if you don't have the right wheel spacer combination, is that the rotor won't line up with the caliper opening.

These pic's are taken a bit "close in" (I can't see the whole wheel), but if this is a single disc brake front wheel, the rotor and brake caliper appear to me to be mounted on the wrong side of the wheel/forks. They should be on the left hand side of the bike.
Does anyone else see the same thing I'm seeing, or have I had 1 too many beers?

It is mounted on the left. We've come to the conclusion that it is the wrong wheel. I am now looking to put a 19" single disc on it. So if you know of anyone selling a 19" let me know!~~~~ Thanks for all your input.
