    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1979 GS750L rear brake caliper offset to one side

I just replaced the rear brake pads and noticed the caliper sits too close to one side of the rotor. All the spacers and parts on the axle are correct and in the right spot. The axle does not appear to be bent. The caliper bracket is not damaged and does not look like it is likely to be bent due to its design. The associated pad from the side that is too close is more worn than the other side and the new pad is rubbing slightly.

I am considering putting a thin washer/bushing/spacer between the caliper bracket and the right side axle spacer to see if I can center it better.

Has anyone seen this problem and if so did you do anything about it?

Thanks
 
Can you post up a picture of your caliper and entire rear wheel assembly? Are you sure you have all the spacers on the wheel back in the correct locations?
