Hey fellas I know this is an older thread I'm just hoping u see this I have a 94 Fatboy solid wheels with a 140 rear tire the problem I'm having is the tire rubbing on the belt but only when I back the bike up was wondering if u had the same problem with your bike being the same year as mine

 

yeah, mine does the exact same thing. I'm currently rebuilding the transmission and the main shaft drive bearing has .010" side play on it so I will also be changing that out.

I suspect it might be a result of that pully sagging however so slightly (just a hunch).

i measured everything and the axle and wheel are perfectly centered so its very possible that's the culprit.

I'll come back next week and share my findings.

Lots of wrenching...

If you wanted to check out my YouTube channel feel free to follow the progress.

I work pretty heavily on Evo's and pretty much think anything after it is garbage.

Thats just my opinion, i work on these things so i think i should know a thing or two about them.
