I've heard of people using washers behind the booster on the top two bolts to angle it downward. Seemed to work and not cause any problems. It happens with most eg owners with a gsr or larger booster and m/c

dont do anything about it. Let it be. Your tower bar is designed for a RHD vehicle. Yes it hits, dont washer it. thats a really bad idea.

Please explain why this is such a bad idea? Any known stories or issues the two people I have seen that have done this are very well respected in my book as many others. I don't want to mention names to pull them into this but honestly it doesn't cause any issues at all.

Yes the carbing is designed for RHD but this guy needs to find a way to make it work, the way I offered does work and haven't seen a issue arise do to it.

Another suggestion is to swap to a Type R m/c and booster I'm told that works better.

Either way it's a pain in th ar$e when you need to bleed your brakes.

Mine hits to but not so bad that I had to do any thing about it. My booster and MS is stock 92 CX.
I have had people tell me to do the washer thing but I really don't think mine is that bad.
