Can someone with a special and a set of calipers get me the size dimensions of the rear wheel spacer? I seem to have misplaced mine, and I've got a lathe and some material handy, just wanna make sure I get it the right length. Thanks y'all!

Hopefully someone has a 16" rear wheel off of their bike that can measure the spacer for you. It should be fairly easy to access, the right side bearing is a non press in fit and can be removed with just a snap ring pliars.2H7 (79) owned since '89

I wondered if that showed #2 going into the wheel... maybe I just have a few screws loose... I haven't disassembled the wheel... but I have a sizeable gap between the wheel and the swingarm... maybe I just need to go get another look at it...BARE BONES CHOPPERS: If it don't make it go faster, you don't need it!

"70mm length spacer (20mm I.D.)"
It came up in this thread on the Australian forum, that time round the gap was caused by the Brake Torque Plate being forgotten.Brian

Hm. Maybe I'm just confused. Between the caliper bracket and the wheel I have a gap of an estimated 2cm... I can see the axle... I have all the things shown in the fiche I think. Am I supposed to have a gap?BARE BONES CHOPPERS: If it don't make it go faster, you don't need it!

My 1980 MNS has a gap there as well. On the Specials, the spacer is part of the caliper mtg. bracket, and the Standard i believe is separate. I think!!!!!1980 XS1100LG Midnight

There shouldn't be a space there. There is a spacer that sits against the wheel that OS thicker on the special than it is on the standard (part # 33 in the fiche). The caliper bracket is same on.both the standard and the special.Nathan

Maybe someone could get me a pic of a properly assembled rear, I think #33 may be what I'm skipping... that piece doesn't come off with the wheel does it?BARE BONES CHOPPERS: If it don't make it go faster, you don't need it!

Part #33 can be easily lost, it will stay with the wheel when removed from the bike, but will easily fall off when say changing the tire.Last edited by bikerphil; 04-20-2012, 12:22 PM.2H7 (79) owned since '89

Yep, that's it, #33 is what I am missing. So can someone measure theirs for me to create a replica? Thanks a ton fellas!BARE BONES CHOPPERS: If it don't make it go faster, you don't need it!

Dimensions are....
ID .795"
OD (into the seal) 1.06"
OD (dust seal) 2.00"
OD (against the caliper bracket) 1.42"
Distance from seal end to dust seal .50"
Overall length .85"
This is for a 16" wheel, if you're using a 17" reduce the overall length by .3".Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

Thanks Steve! I figure I could rip it out on the lathe in 1/20th the time it'd take for andreas to mail it...BARE BONES CHOPPERS: If it don't make it go faster, you don't need it!
