[QUOTE="nobby, post: 25148, member: 257"] When I bought the Comet in 1994 the same plates were mounted. I had them powder coated and needed many many hours to get them on the bike the way I wanted it. One of the mods was to attach the lower mudguard stays with bushes to make it wider. Last week I had the front wheel out for a check (because of Festival of 1000 Bikes) and had big problems fitting them again. I could not get them turn in line and had the same effect, although less, then you had. I never used the speedo gears in the front wheel, until recently. Since that moment I have nasty sounds from the front wheel and the wheel turn is more resistant. I altered the speedo gear box in different ways but no satisfying result until now. I need to use a washer at the insides of each forkblade to get the plates not touch the drum, maybe you should try this too... Question for the expert: are there any tricks while mounting the wheel gears? [/QUOTE]
