Rear wheel spacer dimensions

<< < (2/7) > >>

Oddjob:
IIRC Dom you have a 550F and Murf has a 550K, spacers are different. The 550K is essentially a 500 four with a 550 engine in it so it needs the 500 spacer dimensions.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I fitted SS rear spacers supplied by Max, he also made a batch of SS Carb shafts

If you PM me I can send his direct contact details.
Sadly left this site due to being the subject of  indirect bullying.

Murf:
Thanks for all the replies and help.
I have now found the spacer, it was in with my CBX stuff. It looks like a spacer that is used on the lower rear engine mount, I sort of remember seeing it on the bench a while ago and wondering why a CBX part was out so put it on the CBX shelf. 

So all good you might think, well no, I thought it would be an aluminium spacer that I could just polish up, but it is just a plated steel one that is rusty. So I am still going to make one but at least I have the original to copy now.  I am going to use aluminium which should be fine. I will post a photo.

As you say the early 550 is basically the 500 with a 550 engine, I mostly use the 500 parts manual in Ash’s drop box as a guide when assembling things, except the engine.

Thanks for all the responses

Oddjob:
Didn't know you had a CBX as well Murf. Jealous now. Keep promising myself that if I get some money together someday and it's not earmarked for the house I'll treat myself to a red CBX. Not the prolink type though, never really liked those. Fancy a CBX550 as well.

DomP:
You're correct Ken!
