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.

Hey guys, I"m having a little problem getting my rear wheel to line up. I have a 1978 GS1000, '82 1100 swingarm, '94 gsxr wheels, and 1/2" front offset sprocket. I can get the chain to line up perfect, but then the wheel is too far to the right (it rubs on the inside of swingarm).

Here are some pictures before I get to my question:

I gained a little extra clearance with I switched from the GSXR cush drive (left in pic) to the GS1000 cush drive (right in pic). Is there another cush drive that would allow me to get more clearance and center the tire? Does anyone have a data list of the different cush drives (sprocket carriers) and thier thickness?

Shoot, I think I mis-titled this thread. What do most people call this part? cush drive or a sprocket carrier?
 
Cushy?

Cushy?

Use the GS cush drive and center the wheel with different spacers. Or several washers from Lowe's to move it around. Then, rung the chain straight and adjust the offset of the front sprocket so the chain runs straight. Worst case, you may need to do some notching on the inside of the left frame. Though, the combo works well enough and you should have equal clearence on both sides of the chain. Try cutting down the spacers on teh cush and outside of the brake hanger to get space.
