rear sprocket
TrickyMicky:
Yet another caffeine intake has spiked the memory bank again, and guess what? Quite a few years ago I purchased a pair of replacement shox purported to be just like the "Real Thing". Yeh they looked fairly similar, so off came the rusty OE ones, (which still worked ok). had to change all the fixing eye rubbers etc., and on they went, nearly! Had I measured them? Nah! They were fractionally longer which meant the wheel spindle fouled the silencer. Solution - elongate the fixing hole for silencer and slide it out a fraction. Solved - Nah! They were that long that when bike was on centre stand the rear wheel was nearly touching the floor still and when putting the stand up it missed the rubber foot and fouled the chain, Oh blow! Adjust rubber foot slightly, take bike off stand, sit on saddle and could barely reach the floor!! Bugger this, purchased the ones seen in pics, perfect copy and size, move silencer back just enough for centre stand to connect with rubber stop. THAT'S the reason I can fit spindle with nut on brake side! All that needs checking now is the nut un the saddle. Regards, Michael.

As i have no idea what the previous owner has done Just asking for clarification of nut position

The Honda service manual shows the nut sprocket side. 3 pages on which side to put a nut. Gotta smile. G ;Dood to tell its raining. By the way my 350 spindle has tommy bar end and I have the nut on the brake side because I am a rebel. ;D

Haha Chris, very true, must be the weather. But, saying that, its always interesting listening, learning or being reminded of something, it keeps the old grey matter buzzing and saves me doing housework 😊
