    powdercoating rear wheel - will cush drive inserts survive?

    I'm getting a VMax rear wheel powdercoated and want to confirm if the rubber "cush-drive" inserts will survive the de-gas and curing temperatures? I'm pretty sure someone on here was saying they'll be fine but just want to confirm before taking the wheel in.

    Rear wheel bearings?

    Does anyone know if I can pull a bearing that I know is good and put into my Kosman wheel? I thought you pretty much destroyed them when you pulled them... My bearing on my Kosman wheel is going south (I knew it was on borrowed time) but I still have my stock wheel and the bearing is good and $$...

    Need to adjust rear wheel alignment

    I returned from a ride last night to discover that the rear tire had been rubbing against the drive shaft. The tire needs to be replaced now. And unless I can fix the alignment, the bike will have to be taken to a shop on a trailer. Could someone please explain (in newbie terms) how to fix the...

    Diversion rear wheel alignment!

    Not sure if any of you out there have done this conversion but wanted to reach out for some advice: I have got a diversion rear wheel and have had it fitted by a local garage, but it doesn't seem to be right. There is a large gap between the wheel and the shaft drive, big enough for me to...

    Wheel installed

    Had to stuff it in and use the washer swap but still rubbing a bit. I have a 190/50/17 on there.... but I think I am going to go down to a 180 when I have to change. Now onto the front. BTW, the offset looks bad in the picture, but it really isnt that bad.

    Question about wheel chocks and flush mount D rings.

    I just bought a toyhauler but it wasn't set up to strap down 2 bikes. I need to install more tiedown points and wheel chocks and I want it to look clean when the wheel chocks are removed. Maybe threaded inserts for the wheel chocks instead of just wood screws...

    !993 Vmax Rear wheel problem

    Had my new tire put on the rim..I went to install it, but it acts like it's missing a spacer. According to the parts breakdown, there should be a washer on the locknut side of the shaft bolt and one on the pinch bolt side of the shaft bolt. Problem is, is that there is a gap now. Is there...
