AboutBill Silver Expertise Need help with vintage Hondas from the 1960s? I am an expert with 250-305cc bikes in particular and most all of the other pre-91 models, in general. I do NOT claim to have a great deal of experience on Gold Wings, Cruisers, ATC/ATVs and dirt bikes.
Experience I have owned/ridden/maintained Honda motorcycles for 35 years. I have written five books on Honda repairs and collecting. I was a service manager for two Honda shops back in the 1980s.

Question When replacing the rear wheel on this bike the brake rotor rubs against the rear caliper bracket, the right side as viewed from the rear.
This must have been occuring for a while as there is some metal worn from the bracket at the contact point. After installing the wheel and axel rod and tighening the axel bolt the wheel will not freely spin. I cannot figure out what is wrong. Please help.
