ISOLASTIC Rear Adjustment Side ?

Hi Guys,,

I find the Isolastics on my 1974 MK2 Roaster are in need of shimming, I have checked the gaps and ordered a set of shims..
My question is: the factory manual tells me to make the shim adjustments to the front Iso by adding or subtracting on the L/H side and the rear from the R/H side, would there be any reason why I can not adjust the rear also from the L/H side, it seems far easier to get at by removing the L/H side cover rather than having to remove the oil tank on the R/H side..

I would appreciate your thoughts please ..

The drive chain pull on the power until skews it in cradle to put more wear forces on the LH front and RH rear iso gap/shims.

I have always adjust them with equal on each side. Such as .010 on the left and .010 on the right. If I have an odd number, I will add or remove .005 to the easiest side, generally the left. Front or rear. I have not had particular issues putting shims on either side. They are both a pain in the ars.

As with many things on theses bikes, once you have done them a few time, it's just a matter of procedure.

Hobat & Pvisseriii ,,

Thanks for your help on this one.. The shims have just arrived so I will have a go at fitting them today, if I have trouble getting at the R/H side rear I will do as Pvisseriii suggests and fit shims from the left, has to be better than it was

Cheers
