Spyke,
I can't say I know why yours is different. I assume you have the triagular piece mounted to the outside of the tab on the stay. Perhaps it is just as LJ says, "...a bit of push n' shove." One more washer difference on each side, in this case, may be within the combined factory tolerances for width of the upper shock-mount opening, length of the boss on the frame, height of the offset in the bracket, etc. If it is just a matter of adding another washer behind the offset portion, and you can do it symetrically, I say, no problem. After all, the parts book shows no washers in there and I am using two. So, two, three, what difference. To take it just a step further, in my parts book, the offset is shown going to the outside, away from the mudgaurd. I am almost certain this is wrong (and so is Beezageezauk), but I will bow to the more knowledgeable members if my own setup is, indeed, what is wrong.
