Just as an update, I found it easiest to just get these from Yambits Uk. Postage is a hip pocket pain compared to the price of the shims but hey, I need the parts. These were for my E model, put in a good spin the other day on my RH, 350 kay loop from Lake macquarie, Wisemans Ferry, Bowrora and the old Pacific, scratching with the full leather brigade, it was great.

Hey Jonesy
Thanks for the suggestions, will give them a crack and see what happens.
Had a feeling it is some sort of alignment problem.
Cheers

Hey Mosto
2. Could be stiction in the forks and or warped brake disc. Check discs for run out with dial indicator or something similar. How do the forks feel sitting on the bike holding the brake and compressing front end?
1. Put it up on center stand and run a string line along the tyres to see how straight or not it is

Workshop / Front End issues

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL
Just got the bike regoed after last on road in 2002 and having some issues with the front-end making riding unbearable.
One thing known is the head stem bearings need to be replaced.
Not sure if this is the problem so looking for possible solutions to the issues listed.
1. Steering pulling to the left mainly (feels worse at slower speeds) constantly having to adjust.
2. Continual minor bouncing / pulsing sensation.

My arms are worn out, so parked up until remedied!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
