Rear axel spacer

[Anonymous]

I have a GS 1000 that I have installed an aluminum swingarm, from a GS 1100. I am using the axel hardware from the 1000 swingarm. I have noticed that the spacer between the caliper holder and the inside of the swingarm seems small. Do I need the spacer from the 1100 to take up the slack? Cause tightening it the way it is now, seems to pull in the swingarm. :?

If you are pulling in the swingarm when you tighten the axle nut then you need a wider spacer.

I agree you need the spacers off the 1100. I know that the rear wheel spacers for the mag wheel and the spoked wheel for the rear of a GS1000 uses different spacers, as I have sets of each. So different spacers for the 1100 and the 1000 would not be unexpected. make sure you remember to put in the internal spacer between the sprocket carrier and the wheel..for some reason I keep on forgetting that!!!

And use spacerss from the same bike on both sides of the wheel.
