Ridewright
Trying to purchase front fat daddy for my bike but because it's custom Ridewright said either I can send in my current rim so they could make a wheel to match or I can take the measurements myself. I asked them to send me the diagram of what measurements they look for when building a rim. Attached is what they sent me. Can anybody tell me what measurements they are asking for in the drawing?

I don't wish to be rude, but as you are asking us it suggests you are not confident of translating that sketch. I can do that, but I don't have the means of measuring accurately all the dimensions they are asking for and suspect you don't either. I also live on the other side of the Atlantic!
A local dealer or indy should be able to translate it for you and set out those measurements, although they may charge a fee. Alternatively it would be simpler and safer to send your wheel to them. Take the tyre and rotors off first, to reduce size and weight. Parcel it up it very well!

Ya that's all I was asking, what parts of that diagram coincide with my hub. They had suggested I send my rim to them, but thought maybe if I take a look at that sketch and maybe get some measurements I could save myself around $100-150 on shipping costs.
Thanks

It's a confusing diagram. If they gave a letter to each dimension they wanted, instead of using what looks like 99 and 999 several times over, it would help!
They don't ask for rim diameter, but they do ask for:
A: Rim width overall,
B: Distance from edge of rim to RIGHT side of hub,
C: Distance from edge of rim to LEFT side of hub,
D: Diameter of hub flange,
E: Diameter of rotor mounting flange,
F: Depth of mounting flange.
I suspect your hub dimensions D E and F are similar to a stock Harley wheel for the year of your bike.
