I've rebuilt the front end on an 1983 XLX, new neck and stem bearings, rebuilt forks. I'm installing a new wheel/tire/rotors.
I have two issues.
1) I'm trying to eliminate the speedometer. The XLX did not come with a tach. The speedometer drive is a unit attached at the axle and clocks from the wheel on the right side. I have all that taken apart and the new wheel ready to go on but... the speedometer drive unit acts as a spacer which is between 7/16" to 1/2". When I have searched for spacers what seems to turn up are spacers for the inside of the wheel made from aluminum. Seems like steel is necessary?
Has anyone done this before?
issue number 2) The original wheel was a 19x2.15. I bought a wheel from DK they said would fit which is 19x2.5. It fits in there but the right side disk just barely clears the right side fork. When looking at the wheel it does not looked centered between the forks.
Can I change the spacers to push the wheel left or right?
thanks
