I'm in the middle of my voodoo hardtailed build, and finding the same thing. To center the tire perfectly between the hartail rails will cause the chain to rub against the frame tube. Anybody done with theirs, and can give us an idea how to center the wheel. I can imagine its so posed to be offset to one side or the other. Thanks Chris

so the axle plates are cut too large for the axle as well??
darn. i didn't notice but i bet mine is the same because when i told david at voodoo the cam tensioner were cut too large at 19mm instead of the axel 17, he mentioned he didnt catch it...

what you guys going to do, shim? i think it shouldn't be left like that...

you guys might want to get in touch and let him know your troubles...
he may come up with something to help.

They don't recommend anyone riding the fender. It's really not that strong. I thought of a way to reinforce it, but I'm not fabricator. In the middle of putting mine together now.

Hi guys!

I've had all the above mentioned problems brought to our attention and we are investigating if any changes should be made. Here is a photo showing the stock LS650 rear wheel with a chain conversion. It shows the frame distance, center lines, and offset for the chain position. Let me know if we're missing something or if we need updated dimensions. Thank you all so much for supporting us and if we need to "nudge" something in an effort to make this a seamless installation, please let us know and we will jump right on it!

If and when I run into this issue would I benefit shifting the motor to the right no more than a 1/4 inch. Is there any negatives that could come out of shifting the motor?

It is not like dealing with sliding a Big Twin HD tranny over...

You're talking either mount surgery to the frame, or grinding down and shimming the actual case halves. The front end of the engine, no worries, it has spacers you can play with. The rear of the case sections is going to be what gets you...

Get the frame welded up, and then play with the spacers for the front and rear sprockets. THAT is where you are going to find any wiggle room.
