Hello Folks,
I'm thinking of fitting an accessory swinging arm into my cafe racer project and have one available. Unfortunately, it's for a Z900/1000 and is narrower than the standard K arm, so when the hub is fitted, the bearing housing on the sprocket carrier pushes the hub about 1/2" to the right so it doesn't align centrally with the swinging arm. However, about 1/2" of the housing is for the bearing retainer plate and the oil seal, so I was wondering about machining off this section of the housing to allow the hub to move to the left. The bearing is retained from coming out of the hub by the axle spacer and I could use a sealed bearing. Has anyone done this before, or is it completely bonkers?
Cheers, MikeJ
