i thought everything we did was called stuffing around.
it should go pretty easily Jimson.
i take it it's to fit the bigger 250/360 bikes?

Offset is wrong - monoshock rim sits too far to the right.
If you fiddle with spacers to move it to the left, then you'll have chain alignment problems and the sprocket mounting studs hit on the swing arm.

You can move rim over by retensioning the spokes, but its not ideal.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
