squirrly effect was due to me not fitting a spacer i have now had made and it fits superb....wheel is now finished and im happy..

well the wheel i bought came with the tyre on it....but it fits lovely,all im waiting for now is a spacer for the caliper side to take up the slack because of the different size spindle..

so far.so good...550zephyr wheel on and looks awesome...took out bike to check,just up road....hmmm..slightly weird..discovered rear 550 spindle needs a spacer,caliper side,had to shave down right side spacer as wheel as it needs to be 13mm length,so now have to sort another spacer to be fitted betw...

i do know that the corr jets should be right,because you have to fit them opposite the air screw which mine are,anyway,just took it out for a quick test,much much better but still bogging when cracked open,will pull,but you have to increase gradually.....raise needles ???

soon find out tomorrow,but thats good news not to change the stock pilots tho....a/corr jets are in the correct position,in fact someone had already tapped the carbs out to suit....just hope it dont rain tho lol...
