Josh's stolen dream
Hey, I'm putting together an old barn find xs650 that I picked up a few years ago. One of the ugliest you'll ever see. I have just finished painting the frame and swing arm and have new bronze bushings in the swing arm. New seals too. I don't recall any shims when I took this apart a long time ago but when I fit the swing arm in place, it has about 30 or 40 thou play without tightening the bolt and nut. I don't really want to bend the frame. Seems like it should be a snug fit. Mikes xs doesn't list any shims on their site. I can put a dial indicator on the arm and make two shims half the size of my measurement. Anyone got and extra old shims or have a recommendation?
