All right, all right...I did say I'd have to run out to my toolbox to be sure
But you're right about those triangular wheel alignment spacers Rockhopper. Getting them to stop twisting and marking your swingarm as you torque everything up is nigh on impossible.
Then again the ST2 and ST4 swingarm is the worst bit of the entire bike IMHO. Look what you get on the rest of the bike...USD forks, Brembos, nice trellis frame, gutsy V-twin...then a shonky old bit of cheap looking steel section as a swingarm. The paint on it is wafer thin as well, mine's rubbed through even where the hugger vibrates.
Even though they're lovely shiny things I don't want to go for a Metmachex swingarm. £500 swingarm when the bikes only worth £3K? Nope, that would be overinvestment in my book.
So, just keep scouring the breakers and eBay for an ST4S or Monster S4 ally one I suppose....missed one a while back that went for £75...just after I'd spent £600 on the CSS and couldn't get another penny for the bike fund from the chancellor.
