No I haven't, im out of town for a few days. Last minute work requirement. I did notice a wear (shinny) area around the axle on the drive side. See below

Your sprocket carrier looks to sitting in the hub a little to deep. when you pull your wheel you should this spacer between carrier and wheel hub

Hello, it's been a while but the good news is the carbs are rebuilt and mounted. The engine started up after sitting almost 27 years. No smoke and no weird sounds. So I'm moving on. I pulled the rear wheel and have all the spacers and seem to be in the correct order. All I can think is the bearing in the sprocket carrier isn't seated to the correct depth. This seams to me would allow the carrier to set deeper in the hub. Please see photos and give me your opinions. Thanks.

I can't access any of the pictures above .... ?
Oops second time around I can... what the heck..?

Took some direction from another poster and tried my hand at restoring the handle bar controls. Still need a clear coat for protection but very happy with the results

Thanks kidkawie

Anybody have direction for me on the rear hub and sprocket carrier?

Dang! Nice work on the controls. What is your process?

Was happy to find out all electrical is removable. Tagged and baged all screws and brkts, decreased with brake clean, washed with hot soap and water and a stiff scrub brush, the soaked in CLR about 2 days. Washed that off and primed and painted with VHT hi heat engine primer and roll bar paint. Then I took the method from Kidkawie on the letter infill

Plan to clear coat with SprayMax 2K clear gloss to protect

I'm still looking for input on the rear wheel bearing and spacers. I have the rim cleaned and would like to re-install in the swing arm but need to know if the bearings are seated to the correct depth.

Thanks for the help

Please see marked photos. This stared with the below picture showing rear wheel offset to the left

Then comments were made to remove wheel and check spacer arrangement. That has been verified and are in the correct order. Some have mentioned the sprocket carrier was sitting to deep into the hub see photo

Now see the below marked up photos of the bearing in question

Hello Mikaw

your bearing is ok,it looks like my sprocket hub.
Check my measurements.
