Chilihoop, The way I did it, (and there might be a much better way). Was yes, I put in the motor (with a brand new countershaft sprocket on), put in the swingarm, with the rear tire, a brand new rear sprocket mounted, of course measured from the swingarm pivot, to the rear axle centerlines on both sides, with the rear axle as far to the rear as I could get it. I used a straight edge, and a fine piece of thread, that I could see really well, and made sure that the center line of both sprockets lined up perfectly. I was VERY meticulous about this. I made the left side spacer first, (the side with the countershaft). I did a lot of hand filing on both spacers, to get this exact. To be honest, I don't remember the measurements of the spacers. To me, this is procedure is something that I always do, I had a couple of Service Honda's made for me a few years ago, and you wouldn't believe how far off their spacers were. (The chain kept de-railing on one of them, and I had to totally re-work the bike!) That's when I decided to build my own conversion. If you want Chilihoop, I can get the measurements for you, but you should really handfit those spacers, and be meticulous. Nothing worse than having your bike tapped-out, bottoming your suspension, and having your chain de-rail. Especially if you are an old fat guy, like me--Kracer
