Default Front Wheel Spacer???

Hey guys, i have a 2012 fxdc and installed stock 13 spoke aluminum rims off of a 2002 fxdl. The back fit fine although they required a 1 inch sleeve to accommodate the bigger axle. but the front rotor doesnt line up to the caliper. does anyone know if theres a spacer kit out there for this type of application? any help would be appreciated. thanks

How much out of alignment? You can space the caliper over if movement in that direction will correct the alignment. Otherwise you will have to measure and have spacers made to fit. You can find spacers in varying lengths/diameters at Vulcan. You will likely have to order some too long and have them cut down to the appropriate length.

I also had this problem and I found a set of spacers on eBay that fixed the problem. Just a bunch of pre cut spacers. Had to just swap em around till I found the proper combination. I think the seller on eBay was speed dealer customs. Hope this helps
