‘74 CB750K4 - Question about Front Tire Install
« on: April 13, 2019, 12:01:16 PM »
Hey all,

I just recently got my tires back from and hit a snag installing my front tire on the bike. I followed the ship manuals advice which is pretty much to insert the axle from the speedo drive side and then to tighten on the other side. When I do this, after tightening the front wheel axle nut I am left with a bit of thread poking out of the but. I will attach pictures below. Is this normal? I hope I am not missing something...

So I continued to do some research and it looks like I am
Missing the front axle spacer. Does anyone know the dimensions of that spacer or where I can purchase one? I have been searching online and can only find used ones on eBay.

It doesn't look like your bearing collar is all the way in place either
