Title: Help please..... Xv535 (R reg) info please Post by: klogan45 on July 27, 2012, 02:36:23 PM Hi guys can someone help me please coz I've had a senior moment........ A bit of a convoluted story i'm afraid.
I took the 535 trike for a quick flit around the private car park by my garage and the front wheel is fluttering. Now I know that some trikes do this at various speeds but the last one didn't do it at all. before I started the conversion I took a measurement from the lower bolt that holds the silver trim over the top of the shock absorber. All was well and no wobble on the front wheel. I did the same this time but due to the length of time between starting and getting to where I am now I've forgotten what the measurement is. Doh!! The question is this........ Is there anyone with a virago 535 who would be kind enough to hold the bike upright ( not on the side stand ) and measure from the ground to the lower of the two bolts that hold the trim over the upper shock mount. I've a feeling that it should be 68cm but can't be sure. It would save me a load of work if someone can help me out with this one. I know that I should have made a note somewhere but hindsight makes us all very wise. Thanks Regards K Title: Re: Help please.....

I've been down and had a measure, I've got 67.5cm. Now I know what the measurement is i'll get things finished off and through the MOT and see if the tyre beds in. If not then I'll try lowering the back by 4cm. Thanks again guys,regards K |
