Hello, Can anyone tell me about the bolts and spacers holding the top of the rear shocks and mudguard. Which side has the longer spacer? What length should either be? Why are they different lenghts?

My problem was I did not look at them when I dismantled. School boy error.

I didn't know there were any spacers! Looking at the parts book I can see there are two But my bike ( navi and jub) came in boxes!

Thanks for that Dan. My Electra had two bits of half inch diameter tube roughly sawn. Like you I did not know they should be different lengths until I read the parts book. I should purchase from the club spares.

Cheers Keith

Hi Keith

On my electra there are 2 spacers each side the long one fits between the mudguard and the seat lug and the smaller one between the lug and the frame using a3/8 stud to hold it all including the shocker if you need further info or a picture let me know and I will post over the weekend
