Perhaps this will help someone down the road.

Buy shop manual.

Put bike in gear, lift up rear wheel with wheel stand, put scissor jack under crankcase w/ block of wood, remove seat, tank cover, tank, seat cowl.

Smack wretched flat head Allens with brass drift, loosen both side plates.

Place block of wood in between rear tire and back of frame to prop the frame up.
Remove rear master cylinder, shifter rod, side plates, old isolators, loosen the tie bar in the center of the frame.

Raise frame up further if need be so everything lines up nicely.

Loosely install new isolators with oiled isolator washers (drop of Red Loctite on isolator bolts), line up pin in plate with hole in isolators.

Loosely affix side plates, torque isolators, tighten up side plates w/ drop of Green Loctite on flat head Allens.

Remove block of wood from tire, tighten tie bar, remove scissor jack, attach gas tank, bodywork, go for ride.
