As I recall, when I looked at it, the pivot seemed to be central vertically and measured the same from all pivots as the std non-adjustable one....

If you want I'll try and get up in the loft tonight and re-check?

But when I fit it, it will be in conjunction with setting the sag, pre-load and getting the steering-head angle correct, so g8d only knows what the actual setting will be....
If all the above isn't done then all it is is a bit of pointless bling..........IMHO of course

I have reset it back to the 3 o'clock position and i am far happier on the bike.It doesn't turn as quick,but feels alot more stable in slower corners.I'm not a racer and don't need racer type ultra quick turning.Paynep,i would still like to know where yours is set ,if it's not too much hassle.

Mine has the pivot adjacent to the locating bolt, or 5 notches clockwise from your pic. Like I said, I'm pretty sure that this gave the same dimensions as the std linkage, but I stand to be corrected.......

HTH Paul

Maybe I'll bung mine on to see how it feels and how the sag etc measures up, but I was saving it for the winter when its all going to be in bits anyway.....

That position is where i had move it to.That is as radical as it gets.I didn't like it,too quick turning for me.Of course it depends on how much ride height you have on the u-loop as well!!
