    1930 to 1936 VL Springer Rocker Rebuild Kit Question

    Does anyone sell a rocker kit with the proper spacers? The parts manual shows the correct stepped spacers, but every kit I've looked at seems to come with the ‘one‑size‑fits‑none’ modern spacer.
    It’s like the manufacturers decided: ‘Why sell two kits when we can sell one kit that fits nothing perfectly but everything badly?’


    I'm looking for the correct early-style spacers, not the ‘close enough, ship it’ version along with the complete kit. If you’ve got a source, a stash, or a time machine back to 1936, I’m interested.

    At one time I thought Colony offered both styles. I will look tomorrow.

      I had the same problem and got the correct spacers from Tom at Replicant Metals. Part #2644-31
