muggzy Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Another question re. converting my stock swingarm to a stocklength Lonestar swingarm with double-row round house style bearing carrier. I got the bearing carrier used and had brand new bearings and seals installed. After hanging the swingarm on the frame and trying to mount the brake caliper, I found that the caliper bracket is quite a bit thinner than the stock bracket. To get the caliper to sit where it belongs, I'm gonna have to fill the gap (see pic). I don't like the idea of stacking washers up. Any suggestions? Has anyone bought a carrier (new) that came with spacers? What brand is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko2000 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 either machine a spacer yourself or hit up your local hardware store, they should sell different size spacers. Ace near me sell them. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
