Do these spacers look properly installed? Just changed my front tire for the first time on the FJR and am second guessing whether I installed the spacers the correct way. It is a 2003. Thanks

I'm pretty sure the only actually fit one way. Yours look right to me.
Three ways I know to get it right:
- Set the collars down in a way that you won't screw them up when you reassemble it (the easiest, but I'm guessing that ship has sailed for you).
- Look and compare against the microfiche.
- Look at the wheel straight on and make sure it's centered in the fender and/or centered in the forks.
Non ABS bikes have different collars on each side. Look more closely and you might see a short one and a long one.

Your rotors will let you know if they are reversed.
On my '05 non ABS, the larger of the spacers is "Clutch-side"

The shorter collar goes on the right side correct? (if sitting on bike)
On my '05 that is correct… and according to the microfiche that Iggy posted that is correct on your '03.

I had set it aside the way it came off but didn't notice one being shorter than the other which is why I was second guessing myself. Thanks again guys.

Yes, the longer spacer is to make up for the ABS plate that is missing (on all non-ABS bikes) on the left side.

^^^^^^^^^^ Yes.
Click a pick both sides before beginning. Compare pics when you reinstall.
