Well I went out and tried to put my rear wheel on and found I need a couple of spacers. If anyone here has a lathe and can make a couple for me let me know.

I think Blackbanshee is a metal worker too. I've seen his work on a machinist website recently.

I'm still putting it together but it's looking like I need one to be about 10mm on the left side and 12mm on the right. What I'll have to do is get the front end on and have the local Harley guy get the front and rear aligned and then see what I need for sure.

Here is a couple of pics of what I need.

Left side


Right side.


I'll know more when I get the front wheel on and align the wheels.

When I mounted my GS1100 arm, I went to McMaster-Carr and bought some Stainless washers that were the exact shaft size and stacked them. I think it took about four on each side and worked perfectly. an entire bag cost just a few bucks.
