OK: I got a bolt-on hardtail for my 66 triumph 500. The old swingarm seemed to be about the same size, but for some reason, my axle feels loose after tightening it back onto the rigid. Not too loose, just not as tight as it was before. Maybe I'm imagining things. I have no side to side play, nor back and forth. I have one of the speedo drives that is on the axle right side of the bike. I kept it on, even though I have took off the speedo. Do I need to get a bushing machined? I have ridden the bike around the block a few times, and all seems well. Being this is one of the most important parts of the bike, I don't want to open it up and freeze a bearing or shift my axle.
Anyone gone through this, or am I just worringing needlesly?
Thanks,
Erron
