400v fork spacer problem

Hi all,

I've just fitted a replacement front wheel from a 400 limited into my mk2 400v and am having issues aligning the wheel in the forks.

Its as if the left hand (as you look at it) spacer is approximately 5mm too short, because if you tighten the fork leg to the spacer it pulls the leg inwards making the brake caliper out of line with the disc.

I've rotated the fork legs to make sure they are'nt bent so can only guess that I have the wront spacer - trouble is both new and old wheels are the same width at the hub so I'm puzzled....

All help greatfully received!

Cheers - Ben

Sorted it! it was me being stupid - the shoulder on the spindle took up the space and I didnt push the fork leg over to touch the spacer this time = no issues!

Moron mode now off
