Swingarm Measurement

[Bewarethemoon]

Can anybody offer up the measurement between the forks?

I need to open mine up using a bottle jack as it’s closed up a touch after the welding during the ‘cleaning-up’ process.

For some reason 215.0 is stuck in my head.

Thanks in advance for any help offered!

Interesting !
I've just measured two of mine, the first was off a XS650B Roadster, with the open ends :- 213.5
The second was off my Heritage Special with the closed steel plates (you have to pull the axle right out to remove the wheel) :- 216mm.

From here.

Here we go gents’ with a little time and the softly, softly approach she opened back up to 215.0 from 205.0 lovely.

Please excuse my cardboard ‘soft jaws’.

Check your sprocket alignment after you install it.

Are you saying it could of pulled one way more than the other?

It's possible. Fwiw, had to do the same with my swingarm. Sprocket alignment stayed true.
