160/80 on rear wheel and... (Read 545 times)

dasch Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 1137	160/80 on rear wheel and... 05/12/10 at 09:53:51 ... belt rubs a bit. Got the shim for front pulley. Has anybody shimmed the rear one? How? If it had more horses, I would machine a full round plate with holes. But now I'm thinking small washer shims under all 5 (or 6, whatever) bolts should do. What's your thoughts?

Deal. I shimmed both front and rear pulley today with 2mm shims and it still rubs a bit when in allignment. I can get it just a bit off alignment and stop rubbing, or shim another mm or two. This is gonna be a tight squeeze, guys. Tire is getting close to everything everywhere!! But it will work.
James, I will try to take some pics today. It's getting dark in the garage.

It's on the jack now, garage is too dark for my camera. This is what it looked like in different phases: http://www.bikepics.com/members/dasch/95savage/ and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxrYiLR1ZGk
