It involved machining the hub and adding a spacer . I could explain the whole thing to you but this may not be your problem . Best thing to do is call Marv and see what he says .
I can verify that the wheel isn't "true" as evidenced by huge gap difference on swing arm belt tension block window. When I return home in July, the end of July, I will reinstall the 300 Avon Cal BH wheel, see if that cures my problem. If does, will get Marc's wheel machined correctly should that be the problem.

I got my rear wheel alignment sorted, tracking straight now; turns-out was just a case of me being a wanker, wasn't nothing wrong with my wheel / hub, etc. everything already machined on center. I WAS adjusting the wheel focused on keeping the belt centered on the rear pulley, what I had to do to correct my situation was adjust the rear wheel until tracked straight and allow the belt to stretch / adjust. (SPECIAL THANKS TO MARV FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP OUT A BROTHER!!)
The heat coming off of my exhaust manifold was unbearable with Jet-Hot Extreme 2000 coating and a single layer of DEI Titanium wrap. Solution was to triple wrap, 3 layers; it's still hot but bearable, the weather has been brutally hot averaging 97-102 degrees which doesn't help.
Been playing around a bit, the best time I can achieve is 159mph @ 10.1 seconds in the 1/4 mile, all in low gear (160mph is redline). Berzerker will do alot better than 10.1 seconds, will have to try different torque converters, my launch / 0-60mph is what's killing my time. Berzerker has the factory #5 converter that I think is 1800-2200rpm stall which I believe is the same specs as stock but heavy duty, brazed fins, etc. The bike starts pulling HARD around 4000rpm or 100mph.
I will get with Coan when I get back from Kazakhstan in September to have one made to suit my application.
Here's one Go-Pro video of my first pass. The Speedhut GPS speedometer is 0-260 mph and records my 1/4 mile time.
