i think if you use all the standard BO spacers and bearings you will have no issues. i think the fact you are trying to use the abs (CVO) parts may be the issue. the only other things i can think of is... is the brake rotor fully seated on the wheel? and maybe the CVO uses a slightly larger diameter rotor. the last two are highly doubtful even in my mind. i think the CVO uses different size spacers for things because of the ABS. what bearings are in the wheels right now? you say you have pressed in both.
ok that answers me previous question. now use all the stock non chrome non CVO spacers and see what happens.
Just saw this. I have non abs ones in now. I think the first time they were abs bearings but can't remember which ones I ordered way back. Took a while to get everything. Over a year! But I used non abs and rotor fits in caliper bracket perfect . not hitting or scraping it. Sounf is from sprocket side. Sounds like coming from hub behind sprocket.
Thanks again. I was just wondering what belt rubbing sounded like. Never heard it before. Wondering if my attachment could be belt hitting swing arm. It is real close. And don't remember where it was before all this.

Good luck dude. I'm super curious to see what this issue turns out to be.
Hey warp, clip ons are a blast to drive. Not as uncomfortable as they look. Leaning into turns is an amazing experience. Because of the seating position it feels like I'm flying into and through the turn. I get to put my knee out and hang off the side of the bike while making a turn.

That's tonight Jersey. There is only one. Sprocket side. And it is the EXACT same width as the fancy Chrome CVO one. But I am still trying it tonight. You never know.
First off thanks all!!!!! You guys are the best. Here are some pic's just in case any of you see something I don't.

Photos 1 & 5 would be good if the rotor alignment with the calliper holder was in focus at that area.

that doesn't look like the stock axel either. mine has a mountain of a nut on the left side that requires a 3/4 inch hex.

Maybe I'll try for a better pic tonight
And thanks for looking at yours tonight for me. I owe ya.
Here is what the poor thing looked like once I was done and before the test rides. I love the look. That's why I don't want to give up. I'm thinking to maybe buy the CVO abs sensor(and cut the wires and use as a dummy sensor) but I would also need the Caliper bracket because it has a hole in it for the abs sensor to align into. But first I'm going to measure everything off my stock rim to see if I can figure out what is the problem before spending another couple hundred. And I would also have to put abs bearings in again.

Yes Jersey you are correct. I got the CVO one so I could finally use Axle nut covers.(it comes with special washers that allows the covers to screw to) That looks the same also. Same length and diameter and all that stuff. But maybe that could be it? I'll try that tonight also.
and thanks for looking at your tonight for me. I owe ya.
