gs 750 rear shock mounting "?"

[deves3000gt]

I am putting my 78' 750 back together after not being the one who took it apart. I think i did pretty well ( it starts, runs and idles). I am haveing trouble with the back shocks. the left side has the handle bar for help with the center stand and with a washer or two seem to push it far enough out so the acorn nuts seem to work on the left side. I am haveing trouble with the right side. there is just to much run on the stud to keep the shock from moveing. i built it out with some washers but i know that can't be right. I just don't see anymore parts in my parts pan that would fit over the stud. i'm sure i will need to get a part of some sort i was just hoping to have and idea of what it was. (the shop by me won't work on my bike b/c of it's age) so they have no clue.

any help would be very much appreciated

Yeah there are a shocking number of washers on these things! Deves, maybe if you posted a picture it would help. As I was told when I stripped one of my studs, there isn't a lot of lateral movement so you just need to get it snug and tight, don't torque it way down.

I went through that with my 750 and after a lot of research I wrote down all the washers and sizes and the order they went on, and I CAN"T FIND MY LIST

However, you can figure it out from the parts diagrams and part descriptions. There are a lot of washers, but some of them are really thick - like 2-3 mm. Use this http://alpha-sports.com/spst/1978%20GS750E/07.htm. In the part description the washer size is listed for most of them. For example, #15 is listed as
15 09160-10001
WASHER, OUTER
4 B,C,EC,N,EN;
10.5x24x2.3
which means

you need 4 of them and they have the following dimensions:

10.5 mm inside diameter (hole size)
24 mm outside diameter
2.3 mm thick

They all add up to the same thickness on both sides with the handle acting like a large washer on the left side.

Have fun...
