    1981 GS750E (GSX750E) Dented Cafe Racer ( Currently doing GSX-R USD conversion)

    That's a given, removing calipers before wheel. But the point in question is that the wrong way mounted calipers creates the problem situation I.E. that the wheel (hub) won't fit because of the offset of the calipers when mounted incorrectly. Cheers, 50gary

    1981 GS750E (GSX750E) Dented Cafe Racer ( Currently doing GSX-R USD conversion)

    You have the brake calipers mounted upside down. The witness is the bleeder nipples should be at the top of the caliper to vent the air. Flip the calipers and right side up to gain more clearance. Can happen to anyone. Cheers, 50gary

    Lockdown.

    I live in Michigan the place in the United States with 'the' most stringent lockdown rules in the country. I don't like being under house arrest by Madame Commandant Vitmar. The economy has virtually stopped, not good. Life is risk versus reward, any motorcycle rider understands that. The...

    Texas Two Step Taco

    How fast will a Bultaco 360CC go? "Are those tires speed rated by any chance?" I would have used a bandsaw to cut 90% of that flywheel off, then finished it on the lathe. Why does the orange drag bike have the leading axle forks seemingly turned backwards? I'm not familiar with Bultacos or why...

    Texas Two Step Taco

    The rear is an S but the Firestone front is not rated. Umm... How fast is a 360 Bultaco going to go in 660'? Looks like a lot of fun. I think speed ratings are for sustained speeds? Cheers, 50gary

    Issue centering this comstar wheel

    Thanks for the kind words, the bike came out well I'm happy and that was almost ten years ago. The hardware came right from an aircraft supply house, aircraft guys are real picky so I thought it would do the job and it did. At first I called an aftermarket wheel manufacturer thinking that...

    Issue centering this comstar wheel

    Okay, if your bearings are good and your rotor adaptors are also good (equal both sides) then center the wheel assembly in the center of the forks by making two different length axle spacers. Yeah, my Comstars have steel "plate spokes" not aluminum as the reverse do. Also the reverse spokes...

    Issue centering this comstar wheel

    In your drawing (first post) Bearing A is not completely pressed into the hub resulting in the misalignment. Pure guess is that the bearings are somewhat wider (ht.) than the OEM bearings and you pressed bearing B in first then put the internal center spacer in then pressed in bearing A and...

    Issue centering this comstar wheel

    This is my Comstar wheel, the front as pictured is built from three different Comstars. The rim is a rear 2.15" x 18" with a CB900 hub machined to accept larger bearings for the modern larger axle and the plate spokes are original pattern Comstar from a 1.85" x 18" I used real aircraft hardware...
