Hi new to the thread.
I am in the process of fixing up my xs400 chopper after a crash, I broke the front wheel which had a drum break.
I replaced the wheel however I’m struggling with the front spindle, I ordered One online that was said to fit a 400 and also a 250. I understand that a few parts between these bikes could be interchangeable.
I noticed that the spindle I got was shorter than the original. I fitted it on and it seems to fit but the thread sticks out quite a bit, and in the spindle the thicker part is shorter than the one that came off here is a picture. I think one is from a drum and one is from spoke wheel, one one read online. my question is can these both used or does the drum need to have the one that came out of it originally.
Thanks
Ryan
