Had a similar issue. Would happen mostly when turning right. I also suspected back left hub or a LCA bush. Turned out to be muffler hitting a bolt on the heat shield!

So glad his memory is kept alive :beer: :)
Coincidentally "Max" turned up to our Mt Nebo run just last Friday after a too-long (more than 2 years) absence from current owner.
