Should have posted this late last summer but busy busy. Put new 230's front and rear on the 82 1100. Noticed black rubber dust on left side of rear engine case and what I found was tire was rubbing rod that runs from rear caliper to frame. So I took it off and put in vice crushed it and bent it a little for clearance and it worked. But just today was looking and saw on right side next to drive shaft there is almost no clearance about 1/4 in. or less!!!! it doesn't rub no marks on tire. Tire size is 140/90-16. Looked at part fiches and didn't see any washers or spacers that would keep tire away from drive shaft. Is this just an ill fitting tire for the 82 model. What do you all think. Could there be something that was lost Jerry
