    Hi!

    Bought the Jamie D F2 wheel conversion kit for my vfr 750f 1986. But when i installed the rear wheel i noticed that the caliper bracket is too far to the
    right touching the brake disc(see picture). So i was wondering if any of you have got this kit installed and remember the dimensions of the spacers and bracket? Tried to e-mail Jamie but haven't got any replies yet.

    Measured the spacers, nr1: 14mm nr2: 13,55mm bracket: 20 mm nr3: 20mm
    Is this correct? Bearings are seated properly, so that’s not the problem. Far as i can see nr 2 should be shorter and nr 3 longer, about 2-3mm to get the bracket centered over the brakedisc.

    Thanks in advance!

    I remember someone having this issue a couple years go. Turned into a convoluted thread from hell so not sure how much help it would be. I wonder if the username was slowbird?

    Thanks, found it. Not the same problem and different bike. My problem is that the caliperbracket is not centered over the disc. Just would like to know
    the dimensions of the spacers, just so i know have the right spacers. Who knows maybe Jaime Daugherty got the parts mixed up??

    Why not just send him a PM about the trouble you are having. He is no stranger here and I am sure he may help out. He has his good reputation to protect so can't hurt. There may be a simple solution.

    The caliper holder in the pic does not look Like a stock VFR or CBR part.

    No it's not stock, it is a Jamie D caliper bracket, fixes the problem with the smaller brake disc on cbr f2 wheel.
