Rear axle spacers
OK, i may have had a mild stupid attack!! Last night when i took the front and rear wheels off of my '10 Street Glide, i THOUGHT i was paying good attention to the sequence of spacers, washers, nuts, etc. Well, today as I prepare to reinstall the wheels with the new tires I am not quite sure about the sequence of the rear axle components. I have 1 axle, 1 large end nut, 1 flat washer (with an outer diameter that is between the cams and the spacer), and 1 spacer with grooves milled in. I'm pretty sure that i didn't lose anything. Can someone please tell me if this sounds like what should be there and what order the components go in on the axle. Sorry, I know this could have been prevented, but that is water under the bridge. Thanks guys for any and all assistance.

I just changed my rear. The thin spacer goes between the swing arm and the wheel on the belt side. The thick spacer with the grooves goes between the wheel and the caliper bracket on the brake side

Wow
WOW This is 100% crazy and I did the EXACT same thing, but with my 08 Ultra. I lost the exact same one you did!!! The small spacer. My guess is that it sticks to the wheel and is lost somewhere between my shop and the tire changer. I have searched the entire shop, truck and garage floor. So I have one on order and they have never had to order one in the past, so I am guessing you either found yours or needed to buy one?
