    Hi everyone, I recently replaced the tyres on my 1984 XJ650 and found out while reinstalling the rear wheel that the previous owner had been running it without the wheel spacer. The axle also wasn’t remotely torqued to spec when I removed it.

    Does anyone happen to know the exact dimensions of this spacer (length, inner diameter, outer diameter), or where I could find them? I’d like to machine a replacement myself, so precise measurements would be really helpful. I’ve seen “approx. 3 inches” mentioned, but that doesn’t seem precise enough.

    Thanks in advance!

    I have a heap of 750 axles and I thought I'd help.
    I know I removed some spacers or at least one from a wheel. So I have 2 sizes here. Which probably is less than useful. But pics below.
