Front hub measurements 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Here are some front hub measurements you might need if you are planning on using a different wheel. Got them for the machinist that is making my wheel.

177mm inside to inside of disks
187mm outside to outside of disks
188mm width of hub at grease seals
7mm bearing recess from outside face of hub (for grease seals)
18mm spacer length (both sides)
210mm width with spacers installed
5mm rotor width
174mm outside to outside of bearings

Just thought it might come in handy for you all.

Paul

Thanks.

By discs do you mean rotors?

Re:Front hub measurements 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
i'd just like to add a note, when i took my front calipers off to paint them, something happened to throw the alignment off.
now it could have been the berrin hole's i had to have machined after the chrome platers did not apparently cork them, because the new berrins were half a mm in diameter larger than the hole.

also the rotor's are sitting on the plating too (had to grind them to fit also)
ok so anyways, what i needed was an axle shim to buy a 1/16" because the left side rotor was rubbing against the caliper bracket! (why not both sides i may never know)...

the only area parts guy, a harly shop did not have a 1" inside diameter washer, so my improvisational skills, located a 1" E clip at lowes, tapered the ends slightly, and with the front axle somewhat loose i placed it between the bushing and fork tube with a tap'a'tap'a'tap'a'; and sent it home with a large flat bladed screwdriver.

it was exactly 1/16" thick, and did the job for $.89

ofcourse i went to lowes, then to the shop, then back to lowes again.
