2007 Road Glide front wheel spacer dimensions?
I obtained a low milage 2007 Road Glide which has problems with brake drag. Service manual says that there's supposed to be a short spacer on the right side of wheel and the longer on the left. Here's where things get interesting. My spacers are both the same length and my suspicion is they are both the longer version. I suspect the wheels been off before because the manual said to orient the spacers so the lines were close to the wheel bearing and one was and one wasn't. Both of the spacers I have are exactly 1 inch wide and have two pair of lines on one side. Can someone verify the length of their spacers (short and long) if it's not too much trouble? Thanks in advance!

If youre looking at the bike from the front....the spacer for the right side...clutch lever side...has 3 notches cut in it that face the wheel bearing. You can see these notches without taking the wheel off.
I just put new tires on my 07 EG Classic yesterday so Im pretty familiar with what goes where. All the 07 Touring use the same spacers according to the service and parts manual.
One has the notches the other doesnt. The one with the notches goes on the clutch lever side with the notched side facing the bearing.

I'm assuming that the lines that I referred to are the notches your referring to. If that's the case both of my spacers have four notches which are in located on one side of the spacer and are visible while on the bike. Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I'm new to Harley's. I kind of assumed that the service manual would have the part numbers in it. At the very least I figured you could look them up on the internet like you can with most other makes of motorcycles. Do I really have to buy a manual just to get the part numbers? Let me make sure I have this straight. Harley Davidson sells you a book so you can look up the part you need so you can give Harley Davidson money to give you the part. Maybe it's just my cheap nature but I've got an issue with that.

Ends up the spacers were fine and the service manual was jacked up when it said to align the right fork leg with the hole in the axle. When I did this it screwed up the spacing and the caliper function. Next time I'll just trust my instincts over the manual.
