K9 Spacer Dimensions

Does anyone know the length of each of the 3 spacers for the rear wheel of a K9? I'm installing a 2010 K9 rear wheel on my 05 ridgeback and running into some spacing issues. The left hub is a little shorter than the one for the ridgeback and I'm hoping a set of spacers for a K9 will do the trick instead of swapping out hubs.

It would be a hassle to swap hubs since one set is chrome and the other is polished. I called BDM and they only had the length for the inside spacer on the left because they have them in stock (.455").

Get your spacers chromed. Browns chrome plating will do the job and they usually have a decent turn around time...

You misinterpreted what my problem is. The spacers are chromed and are ridgeback spacers. The K9 hubs are chrome and the ridgeback hubs are polished. I can't just take the hubs off of the ridgeback and place them on the K9 wheels without having them chromed. I believe the spacers on K9's are longer in length than ridgeback spacers. So I'm hoping someone can tell me the length of K9 spacers. If I can find that out, then I can measure to see if a simple swapping of the spacers will do the trick instead of swapping hubs.

You're right the hubs on the K-9 fit a swing arm so it's wider than your ridge. Sorry, I meant to say, just chrome your Ridgeback hubs. Did you try to fit the rear wheel with the ridge hubs and spacers? Might also want to contact Bigdogpartsking or search ebay and see if there's any chrome ridgeback hubs...

I'm trying not to spend the money to have the ridgeback hubs chromed. I got the wheels off of bigdogpartskingpin and he told me it would fit fine, so I might try and contact him to see if he has a chrome ridgeback hub to swap with what he gave me. I was hoping K9 spacers would do the trick, but I'm having my doubts. I may swap the hubs tonight and see if that does the trick.
