Well I've been dealing with structural and civil engineers for 30 years. Not all bad but...
signs in the middle of sidewalks, beams that levitate...
prints are merely a drawn suggestion, I have to make it a reality.

I took it in good humor. I have been designing stuff for 46 years (pressure vessels). If I make a mistake somebody dies. But I must say its a full time job preventing many engineers from taking themselves to seriously. So I wasn't in disagreement. Anyway pardon me if I was out of line.

I have all the respect in the world for guys that do that job. I wouldn't want to do it. Too tedious for me.
I have the luxury of looking at something in reality, 3D. Planning it all on paper without making a mistake...
better left to the brainiacs. Thanks for doing what you do loco.

So...does a 1" spacer
put more stress on
bearing than a wheel
& tire over 2 times the
weight of stock

Don't overthink it. It's a Honda not a Polaris, do what you want within reason and enjoy the machine.

I put 1" spacers on an ATV one time. Rear wheel fell off. I turned right. Tire stayed straight... That's my only concern. Something else to keep a monitor on...
I'm always looking at my ATV rears now and counting threads on the studs coming through the nuts.

Not overthinking
just wondered why
the messages were mixed
come to find out
it was an engineer's
fault

Was asking a question
to someone who would
know something about it
cause member gave mixed messages
....didn't expect you as a staff member
to be a dick...

Was simply saying you don't have to worry about moderate changes, it won't hurt anything.

That's how I took it.
I know the answer to wat
I was asking...was making
sure the newbies knew that
some members say one
thing on beer #3 and another
on beer#25

OK, just like when you "like" someone's post then quote them and call them a dick. Simply a matter of 22 beer disparity affecting the persons perception.

I don't drink

with the guy who gave
mixed messages...
hit like instead of reply
thought as staff member
more concern would of been
shown...but that's kool

 

[rocmar]

It's kool.....I get it
have a goodnight

To answer the two part question.

A spacer would put stress on the hub more so than the bearing.

2x heavier tires and wheels would put more stress on the axles, CV joints, clutch, and transmission. The bearings in this case would be the least of worries.

Yep, that's part of the risk assessment.
