What adjustments are there? in the swingarm?

bushings in the front wheel?  fork alignment?

Who does this kind of work?  dealer?  indie?  or specialty suspension guys?

Thanks

The adjustments are in the engine stabilizer links and the top between the heads or at the front of the front head (depending on year) and at the front engine mount. The adjustments are made by mounting alignment fixtures to the frame at the swingarm pivots. These fixtures lock the swingarm (and drivetrain) perfectly parallel within' the frame.

There are no adjustments in / on the front wheel and there are no fork alignment adjustments. The only front end adjustments are the head bearing fall-away.

Any dealership should have the tools, Indy's may (I do) but they are expensive (about $700)

In my opinion the FIRST thing to do before adding any aftermarket add on is the alignment of bike. The swing arm bearings and steering head bearings are the next culprits to causing instability with the bike.

so i should go to the shop and ask to have everything aligned .
hell, why not.
sounds possible, only because like i said before, my 07 ultra NEVER wobbled,   NEVER.
and it had same bushings as present bike.
what exactly do i ask them, i will when i get 906 done this winter.
thanks for input.

Dammit Dood.  As soon as that post came up I had exactly the same thought.  Suspension needs and support equipment probably better illustrated here.

I guess that's why I have big hands.... for support when needed.

Ohhhh, so that's a sizing system?  And she's a "4 Dood."  I'm thinking a 2 Dood would actually be plenty.

Obviously your hands aren't as big as mine.

I'm just environmentally conscious.  Don't believe in excess.  Besides, I have a phobia about suffocation.

So I guess this is out the question then??



You reckon there'd be much wobble there?
