Serves me right. I was whining that I missed the build project now that the bike was "done". HA!
In hind sight, this explains alignment issues during construction, like the chain rubbing against the chain guard and a crooked tail light and the silencers not looking symmetrical. The bike had obviously been through a bad crash. I had the frame and yokes straightened, but neglected the swing arm.
Can anyone see how the rear tire is out of alignment with the frame in this pic?
If so, can I get a second (third or forth) opinion? This is the old style swing arm without the gussets and I'm thinking it's not worth having straightened.
Is it possible the engine cradle is causing this? That seems less likely.
