Default RE: Wallow cured

You guys are welcome. The axle spacer kit is separate. The spacers and axle carrier blocks in the axle spacer and adjuster kit are very substantial, and disperse the compression forces generated by tightening the axle nut over a larger area of the swing arm, which appears to be a cold steel piece. This should resist any tendancy for the swing arm mating surfaces to indent from the axle carriers. Made sense to me especially when the RideStr8 is installed, since the side loading forces in normal riding applied to the swingarm at the rear axle can no longer be dissipated via lateral deflection. Plus, simply comparing the kit to the stock axle spacers and adjusters, the kit is way cool. I just like knowing that this extra little bit of well machined metal is in there. You don't have to install the axle spacer and adjuster kit with the RideStr8, but it makes perfect sense to me, and I would recommend it.
