Can the APPROXIMATE condition of the isolastic condition be checked by checking sideways movement of the rear wheel relative to the frame?
For example I'm thinking of when you're looking at a bike that is for sale and want an idea of the isolastics condition. I guess swingarm wear would enter into it making it a not very viable idea!! On my 1970 roadster side to side movement is about 1/2" each way from center at the far side of the rear wheel when holding the frame rigid. I've only had my bike a short while and haven't got around to checking with feeler gauges yet.
