What do those of you who have hard tails do to space out the rear axle so the sprockets are centered and not rubbing anywhere. I was thinking I would just cut some steel tubing to fit between the stock spacers and the frame. But I want to make sure I do it right. Preferably the first time. I have the Black Widow Choppers hard tail that I welded on with my dads help since his welder is 10 times better than mine. My welder was free. Looks great, We got it perfectly in line with the neck. Glad I went with BWChoppers. But Ive never done this and have never seen how its done. Pictures would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Washers seem to do the trick, and like you said, they dont look bad at all.
