    Hey folks,

    I posted this on FB but never really figured it out. On the front axle spacer there's a ring around it on my 81 750 Seca. When i drove the bearing out I didn't see what side it faced:

    Anyone know which side that ring goes on? Speedo or non-speedo? Thanks!

    It's to keep the spacer centred for when you put the axle bolt through, so put it at the end you'd be entering the axle bolt from.

    I didn't realize it wasn't part of the spacer (first time bearing changer here). Thanks fellers.
