so i destroyed my rear wheel from a bearing failure, 2010 fxdwg
have now got a 2015 streetbob rear wheel which is same part number I believe, from checking on Ronnies it looks like will fit my 2010 ok.
have changed rubber, pressed in bearings etc and fitted up
the rotor is just touching the left side of the caliper mount bracket and needs to move right about 1-1.5mm (after alignment, belt tension check and axle nut tighten)
whats the best way for this now, can you shim brake rotor? or get new left and right axle spacer (this will move pulley over too?)
Here's a wheel that represents yours. Check to see if you have approx 4.25mm bearing depth. ... (we're using the end of the "Spigot" as a Reference)
Unless you've changed something other than the Like-for-Like wheel, you're Not doing anything Custom ... Stock OE Wheel, bearings, spacers, caliper bracket ... you should Never need a Shim or have to change spacers to make this work.
Either there's an installation problem or damage has caused a dimensional change in the parts.
no custom work just a straight swap over. i have purchased a new caliper mount and used the spacer from the 2015 dyna wheel (will check these against the 2010 parts as well)
