Hi Guys, another (possibly) stupid question for you all!
One of the very knowledgeable blokes over on the TriumphRAT forum brought up this question. When installing a motor (in my case a Triumph twin) in a featherbed have any of you moved the motor over to the right to compensate for the additional weight of the primary side?
I've had a quick eyeball of my OIF Bonnie and sure enough, the motor is biased over to the right by about 1/4".
The other option is to move the wheels off center to the left, this would have the same effect.
I've figured out how I can move the motor over pretty easily with a couple of new spacers if need be.
Any thoughts would be very much welcome.
Thanks in advance
