Dot of paint is to show nut is still tight. Since TP has adjustable lean out. We only have toe in and wheel width for alignment set up. Pretty easy stuff but it's a mix of geometry and trial and error. Join https://sidecar.com/... -

DDenialDave replied to the thread Crashed! How do I ensure this never happens again?.Well when I look at the front mount, it appears solid with the paint mark on it from when it was installed (I did not install it).

REJammer replied to the thread Royal Enfield Super meteor 650 NZ.Oh awesome love that. I will have to rewatch it! I have my brother's initials on one side and my dad's on the other.
