What did I do wrong... Primary

Sorry it took so long to respond. I found that I had some weight on the cradle. The bike was partially supported by the cradle. I moved the support to the frame and made sure nothing touched the cradle and solved it.
I consider that a silly mistake on my part. terrible

I can assure you that you are the first and only one to have made such an error.

Chill, all part of the learning experience.

They say you learn from your mistakes... I’m not sure it’s so simple cos if it was I’d be a freakin’ genius by now !!

Good thing no one heard me call myself bad words.

You still need a final check. With everything installed correctly, you should find a decent gap between the swingarm and inner primary while on or off the center stand on a 72 or later 750. On an 850 you'll find little to no gap on or off the center stand - 850s often require two gaskets at the inner primary to engine to prevent the swingarm rubbing. Don't know about earlier than 72 but it makes sense that they should have a gap too.

Thanks Greg, its a good 1/8 now. I have no centerstand, and it will be a while until the bike can be sat on and vroomed.

I've made mistakes on my project and have not got mad at myself, but if I make the same mistake twice, I get mad at myself
