My bike has a rear disc, and my arm and brake mount perfectly, my only problem is with the wheel hub, brake arm, 650 spacers and the chain adjusters I need to lose about 1/4"...

make sure you center your wheel up really good before you start making spacers,ive got a bunch of rear spacers but i think they are all at plating shop.;)

Can I just machine mine down? 1/8" on each side of the hub would do it...The spacer on the chain side measures 1-1/2" OD and is 7/8" long and the other one is a different shape (like an "H" and is 1-1/4" long and the side facing the outside is 7/8" OD by 1/8" wide.

Anyone have some measurements of other spacers or know of any others that would fit?

At least with my swingarm off I did verify that it was bent. The new one is nice and level. Now I need to modify my newly aquired massive honda magna shocks so they fit the top bolts...

I really would rather find some spacers that fit instead of machining mine. So if anyone out there knows of some that would fit let me know please.

Thanks...
