Offroader placed his directly against the bearing on his Raptor 165, as seen in the picture below.BCTECH said:are you planning to put the nord washer before or after the aluminum spacer? between the bolt and the spacer, pretty sure not enough space.

The swingarm bearing hole diameter is a little over 28mm. The Outside Diameter (OD) of the original spacer is 27mm. As such, a M8 Nord-Lock with OD of 16.6mm should fit fine.
All that being said, the diameter of the part of Qulbix's tapered spacer that actually touches the bearing is about 16.5mm-17mm. This is about the same as the large OD Nord-Lock referenced above. However, it seems like that is contacting the black part of the bearing, and not just the inner silver colored part that spins. It seems to me like that would be a problem. Do I have this wrong?

For the bolt, I measured the depth of the hole using an allen wrench. It goes in 44mm starting at the bearing. Each M8 Nord-Lock is 2.5mm. 2 of them is 5mm. The 44mm hole plus the 5mm = 49mm. I will try a M8 x 1.25 x 45mm.
Lastly, I tried to get the calipers in there to measure the pinch bolts without breaking them loose and taking them out. They look like they are 5mm so M5. I'll update my previous post with a link to the M5 nord-lock. These should NOT be the large OD version.Mammalian04 said:Offroader (or anyone else), do you recall the pinch-bolt size? I am ordering up some Nordlock but I am not near the bike.
