Animated sequence to show the correct procedure when installing the front wheel into the forks of a Honda ST1300.
The spacers that sit between the fork and the wheel hub can be fitted in 4 different ways, only one of which is correct. The other 3 will cause damage.
Mine are easy to spot from the polishing of the dust seals on the spacer - but beware using similar marks if your bike was bought second hand !
Below are two pdf documents on installing the front wheel and rear wheel respectively.

The right hand side of the bike is the side with the brake lever. Left is the clutch lever side. This is the convention used in the Honda manuals.
The video and the photo below are both shown as if looking at the front wheel from in front of the bike. So the brake lever side of the bike is on the left of the image.
