chasinthemirage Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 @Shakotom do you have issues with the tyres rubbing on the floor behind the pedals on full R/H lock or is that just a VL thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, no issues. Would almost guess you don’t have enough caster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasinthemirage Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hmm interesting. Hasn't had an alignment while I've had it but it's only with the BMW alloys which increase the track width by about 20mm a side so maybe something to do with that.

Shakotom Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I had steels that were widened out 50mm each side on the front of mine and no rub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have 16x7.5" BMW steels on my VH and no rubby rubby for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasinthemirage Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Doesn't sound particularly promising then. I'll have a look under it tomorrow, considering the shocks I replaced last week were OE the bushes may be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Did you put the bearing plates back in the same orientation they came out? The centre is offset to the mounting bolts and if you have it out by a third of a turn then you will have altered your caster and camber.

chasinthemirage Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Haven't touched the front of this one, just replaced the rear shocks with some spares I had. The mags on it were rubbing when I bought it, I think the fella that had it before me was a bit of a Barry so I'll give it a check over this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
