If the different depth is the concern, that's normal. That's looking at a picture without measuring. If you had them chromed by same ebay guy that did my parts, good luck.

Thanks for the response, I already not impressed. There's a difference in depth for sure and seems like alot more than yours. Plus the spacer sleeve in the hub doesn't seem right either. In addition they sent the wrong rotors pictured and aren't the correct fit for my year. I'm sending it back and requesting a refund...they better comply!

I noticed the inner spacer. They do move around, but not that much. Maybe they used the wrong inner spacer. Wouldn't put that past them, since they sent you '07 - rotors. Did you get them off of ebay? I would have a local Dealer or indy to check them out before you install them.

Bearings look correct to me, the green bearing is the ABS, left side of the bike. Bearing is wider to accommodate the ABS trigger devise in the bearing.

My bike doesn't have ABS, so wrong bearings? Plus the rotors they gave me are for pre 2007.

You should really tell us who you went through, so we don't make the same mistake.

I went through ***** Shiney (aka Joe Cutshall) for my chrome front end and rotor exchange and have nothing but praise for him and his work.

I will once the transaction is complete and I will advise if they have or have not cooperated with my refund request.

I will tell you it wasn't ***** Shiney and it wasn't Rick9662 I got my lowers from him and should have went to him on this one too.
