need to have the front and rear both aligned. Camber and toe in on th=

alignment specs with you to the alignment shop. You can find the spec=
s in the various manuals and/or the owners handbook. Let me know if yo=
u can't find them and I'll look them up for you. Also get some spare s=
hims for the front and rear camber adjustments. The alignment shops wo=
n't have the proper shims and it's hard to tell if their shims will cause an=
y issues down the road. The Roadster Factory used to stock them. =
Probably Rimmer Brothers in England will have them. Maybe Moss Motors=
in the US. Scott Harper at Team Triumph may also be able to provide t=

res. But they will probably need to be blasted and painted. </div=
