[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 2340, member: 586"] I knew there was a supply & demand issue but what I really wanted to know was what the hell these parts were, i.e. dimensions. There is nothing in KTB or any other book I have that sets out what these "simple washers" really are. Russell, I appreciate your input, & those who were also constructive (not Metcalf!!??) in this matter. I have had some really good information & maybe able to get a one off job done for not too much dosh. Some of you have actually offered to make some for me, greatly appreciated. It all started at the International when the front end started to develop a bit of a weave at exactly 34 mph. The solution was to go faster but around town it was most annoying that the traffic tended to travel at 34 mph!! The problem turned out to be the bottom link bushes & that led to all the other issues, including the forks being 3/32" out of true. As I have been happily cruising at 80 mph + I am not going to go to the time & expense to straighten them. Alyn:) [/QUOTE]
