Ah yes, the old spacer trick. Almost found out the hard way one day. After re-installing the wheel with a spacer in backwards I noticed an irregular noise and could feel it getting worse. It is called bearing failure at 120 kph. Pulled into a nearby dealer and left the bike. No where near home so a hotel was on the to do list. Next morning the bike was repaired with new bearings and the spacers put in as they were found. HUH. Luckily I noticed this and corrected the situation before any damage was done. Just the idea of a wheel locking up at any speed makes my blood run cold.
