    Anyone got any good tips as to the proper procedure of "mocking up" the front wheel for proper spacers? I guess it's best to explain the situation: Bought a new set of triple trees, went from narrow glide to wide glide, dropped one of the brake rotor/ assemblies off (had duals in front) and now need to cut spacers. First attempt set the wheel too far to the right, and don't want to cut anymore of the stainess steel spacer than I need to ($$$). How do the pros do it on custom mock ups?

    Spaced Out

    A bench grinder and measuring stick is always nice to have around when setting wheels.
