No exhaust, no safety guards. Let me know if you all think it looks right. I’ve never second guessed my self like this before. But 8 miles and 250.00 I have to.

Your alignment looks good but you need to make sure your belt tension is not to loose or tight. Someone else on this site may have a procedure for setting the tension without the BigDog recommended tools. I believe the spec is 3/16 in deflection but double check that.

Looks like it’s tracking pretty true to me from that video. I am curious however that it appears that the axle bushing between the pulley and the frame was spinning independently from the wheel/pulley? I could only see it for a brief moment but I don’t believe that bushing should be moving at all. Perhaps worth taking a closer look.

Good catch Mick. Yeah, that isnt tight or you got the spacers mixed up. I wouldnt roll anywhere on that.

If that spacer is turning, the wheel will have play to move from side to side. if you look at the drive end i thought i saw it track left and right as the acceleration went up and down. Definitely check spacers.
