I have the front end off of my R80/7 to do some maintenance and modification work, and while looking at the front end, I noticed that my engine is far closer to the right frame than to the left.
The front engine mounts have the same spacers on each of them:
Rt side:
Lt side:
If this is typical, I won't worry about it, but if my airhead is leaning to the right, I might have issues with that 😉
Do these airhead engines typically sit in the frame closer to the right side than the left, or is mine tweaked?
Maybe the rear mounts are shifted left, twisting the motor right in front?
.....while looking at the front end, I noticed that my engine is far closer to the right than to the left.
Quite normal for this time of year. After November it will probably move back to a more centrist position. 😛
Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
