Front wheel spacers. Which one where?

Yesterday I brought my wheels in to have new tires put on. I made the critical mistake of NOT identifying how the front axle bushing were to be re installed.. Can someone please take a look and advise, I dont want to screw this up.

Thanks Josh

If you're talking about the spacers, they can only go on one way, if you try to put them on backwards the left rotor will hit the fork.

The spacer? It goes on the right side as you are sitting on the bike. Is that what you mean?

Unfortunately I'm not running a stock front setup or I would check. Probably best to use Jerry's advice. The rotors will be evenly spaced between the forks if it is correct.

Good luck!

when you go to put the wheel on,as you are sitting in front of it,the small spacer is on the right (clutch lever side) the big spacer on the left side (front brake lever side.
