DaveT150 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi I'm working on reviving an old 1978 XS400. AT the front wheel there is a gap between the fork and the speedo drive, with the front wheel spindle in situ but not tightened. It looks as if there should be a spacer there. Anybody out there with a similar model know if a spacer should be there and how thick it needs to be? I'm thinking I might just measure the gap and try to make one up, but thought I'd check on the forum first. cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pezak Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sorry I should have clarified, those are not dave's forks but my original untouched/straight forks for him to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
