    ive never heard of people using a shim/spacer for a front wheel, just make sure you have the right offset for you wheel, your front hub axle assembly should just bolt on if you have the right offset and bolt pattern for your wheel, the only shim/spacer would be in the hub assembly on the end where they're usually found, i could be wrong though

    .200" is what my wheel took... But it was a different wheel. You will have to mount the wheel and measure the spacing between the fork tubes. I doubt yours will be exactly like mine was. I made my own out of aluminum on the mill and lathe, but I also had to make longer wheel studs to make it happen as well.

    Super- the way the front brake hub runs/locks on the left fork slider on the ES, it doesn't allow you to change axle spacers like one could on a disc front (like 350x or 250r) So it required a spacer at the wheel to center it perfectly.

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!
