I am getting ready to shim the clamps now....
What i meant is that the area the clamp come together (the two ends) was repositioned so that is was not over the suspect area. I was jut grasping at straws because i did not have a viable clamp option.
The motorcycle shops localy are Aholes...I stopped by two and they said we have nothing like that. I figure they do but I have had issues with them before and told them what I thought of their service so that probably doesnt help the matter. Also two of the ones on your list are closed now.
Im off to the garage...
