Rrd400 Aluminum swingarm question

[Joshua]

I am fitting my swingarm and I noticed a gap pictured below. I'm making an assumption that it is best to squeeze the gap closed but wanted to make sure. The front rim assembly I used a spacer that Garret provided when I bought the blue dot caliber bracket, which was awesome by the way. He was super awesome to deal with. The swingarm seems to be able to flex, so I didn't know.

I keep thinking that if I use a spacer in any way it will throw the alignment off and mess with the caliper alignment. I probably answered my own question. Probably should start a build thread so I can keep my silly questions in one place.  Anyway, thanks all for the encouragement on this forum.

Full view. I hate resizing pics.

I would think you would just tighten it up to the wheel. It's not a huge gap.

Yeah. I'm an idiot, tightened right up.

No your just overthinking it just like I do to everything

Before you start cranking down on that nut, I would decide which is he right dimension.
Have you compared the stock swingarm to the new one?

I would check your sprockets line up and then get new spacers made up if needed. You will most probably need spacers for both sides to keep the wheel central. I am having to do the same for a MotoLanna swingman but much larger.

Thanks, when I get the motor together I'll check everything for straight when it's closer to being finished. I'll have to set up everything as so much is changing. Can't do that yet. Soon enough.

Where did you get the swingarm?
