I've searched the site for info on the rear wheel offset for 1973 Commando. I've got a thick head, most everything I've seen here concerning wheel offsets is very confusing to me. Can anyone give me the measurement between the edge of the rim and a straight edge held against the right side of the hub as shown in this picture. This would be the most accurate way to get the offset correct.
Next, the parts manual shows this spacer going on the underside of the fender, it makes more sense to me for it to go here but the bracket doesn't seem to hold tight enough to the fender to keep it from moving side to side. Is this the correct placement of the spacer?
Lastly, the service manual shows the ignition wires going on the outside of the frame, like this:
I tried threading the wires between the air filter back plate and the frame but it was very tight and I thought vibration would eventually short them out.
Any other suggestions on how to place the wires?
Thanks for your help.
