There is considerably more weight, mostly from the fuel tank, on the left side. Just add an exra iso in the rear and a clevis on the front to even it out. I've got coilovers in the front so its easy to adjust and the rear is actually mabye a smidget higher measured, can't tell looking, with the extra iso on the left side.

(inappropriate comment held back) 8)
Sorry Luigi.

Maybe you forgot a spacer? lol.
Maybe too much junk in the trunk.

Or the probably correct answer with the fuel tank.
Just ride with a quarter tank all the time, lol.
if I remember correctly, which I'm sure its not, a gallon of gasoline weighs 6lbs.
6x20=120lbs. Huzzah!

KJs and KKs are both alike, more so with the KKs though with the fuel tank location.
On my own ( KJ) I do a slight clevis on the drivers side and also a little bump in the rear to keep it level, nature of the beast :wink:
