Moderator Posts: 9185 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Bingo, I think Paul nailed it...... maybe those engineers were thinking... Don't know if Doc is running that way or not, but maybe he will pipe in...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #234088 Gram (Admin) Been there, wrecked that. Admin Posts: 4189 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Agreeing with Paul here. On my last R* I flipped that around and pointed it forward. That bike had bub stubbies, so no problem. BTW, it worked just fine that way.

Can't believe I missed the very obvious, but the pipes are in the way bigtime when I adjust it.   Logged     Moe Colontonio Cherry Hill, NJ 2004 BD Chopper 2003 Roadstar Midnight 2000 Roadstar Beater Project Redneck 330 Mono Project   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234270 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 11715 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the axle? 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Been thinking about doing mine that way once I have to pull the rear off for the new wheel bearings. I think it look UGLY sticken out there.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234281 Makcap (User) How boring it would be if we were all the same Platinum Boarder Posts: 1724 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the ax 2 Years, 3 Months ago   They did make chrome adjuster plates that fit the same as the L on both sides. Tht is what the instruction shows. That is how mine is didn't have an exhaust problem just didn't like the bracket out the rear.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/10/31 18:05 By Makcap.   RIDE DS:219 MASSILLON OHIO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234308 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17482 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the ax 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I believe it has to do more with physics rather than ease of adjustment. I have had mine on the front side and had no problems adjusting with all types of exhaust. If you think of how the rear axle torques under acceleration ... you'll see that the axle on the left side gets pulled forward while on the right side it gets pushed back. I figure the engineers thought the axle would be more secure this way. But what do I know ... I'm a scientist not an engineer.

Moderator Posts: 6955 Re:Y is the right side axle adjuster behind the ax 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I believe it was put that way for torque purposes as well. I still cut and turned mine around shortly after I got it and never had a problem.

I mean acceleration... ... don't ask why I typed 'execration' when I was thinking 'acceleration' Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access.
