    Fitting Gilles....

    Just got myself some gilles rearsets dirt cheap (droooooool). Cant wait to get them fitted (I do need to order the bolts to attach them) but on thing i'm wondering about is the 4 thick spacers/washer that came loose in the box. Where do they go? To make sence of it look at number 23 on the first picture in this link http://www.apexleisure.co.uk/gillesa03.htm

    I'm guessing between the sets and the frame but I thought I would ask you guy's/girls first.

    Im guessing behind the rearset to give your rearsets more clearance from the swingarm....but thats just a guess.

    I dunno if Gilles have a web-site! I think you should just try putting it all together, don't worry about the spacers / washers as the above images show they're not required in the obvious places. I'd just make sure a bit of Loctite or another popular thread-locking compound is used just in case... I've had a cpuple of rear-sets fall apart in the past without it!
