I just got a ‘92 Fatboy and I want to do some of what you did. Was the rear fender stock Before you cut it and is now stock height off of tire ? Did you just grind the fender and caliper tabs off and put them back on ?

@braydonhopper Жыл бұрын
I understand. The key difference when harley went to the twin cam platform was that (one of many changes) they changes the axle diameters from 3/4" to 1". So, I wouldn't even have a reference for your part number because I got a totally different set up.

@braydonhopper Жыл бұрын
@Christopher Gonzalez doing a spool wheel conversion is just a matter of figuring out your axle diameter and setting the wheel up between the lowers and finding a center point. For example, my 98 fat boy has a 3/4 axle diameter, so I bought a spool hub 21 for a 3/4 axle. I set the wheel in between the lowers and measured out my spacers based on the inside lower to lower measurement, minus the hub bearing outside to outside measurement. Then, I double-checked the wheels center to the lower legs and the triple trees and had spacers custom cut to fit my application.
