This happened because the owner forgot to put back a spacer inside the wheel hub. Now the guy is 2000 miles from home, and trying desperately to replace his slightly melted swingarm and rear wheel.

I've seen idiots ruin a swingarm when they forgot to put in a spacer and the bolts ate through the swingarm.
![]() But straight up melting it? That takes serious balls

How the F did he think his tire was lined up in first place after he put the tire/rim back on??? WOW... this is why some people should just have dealerships do their work to their cars/bikes.
But if you're dumb enough to do above, you're dumb enough to not notice that for 3500 miles either. |

This is also the reason that when I'm doing vehicluar work I put stuff like nuts and bolts and spacers in either a magnetic tray or a small plastic shop box

Yeah I use a muffin pan... bigger than an ice cube tray. Plus it's metal.
