Hey guys just another ? for ya. I put on my new Diablos today , took off the wheels got them mounted and when putting the rear one back on I had a hell of a time getting the caliper bracket and pad/ disc and axle dustcover lined up. I took off the caliper bracket so that i could get the axle lined up . Then I slipped the bracket in between the swingarm , dustcover. I really dont think I should of had to do that ! Any tricks? It worked but what am i doin wrong.

When I take off the rear, I take off the rear caliper, it's only two bolts and I found it was a pita to get the wheel lined up with the caliper, and the axle holes at the same time. I'm also lucky that since I put on the different dogbones on the bike, my bike will sit with the tire JUST on the floor when it's on the centerstand. I'd assume that means a 3" block of wood will hold the wheel pretty much dead on with the axle points with a stock suspension setup.
I also flipped my axle around so the castle-nut was under the exhaust, so I could get more clearance when giving it a love tap or two to get it seated properly.Comment
