[QUOTE="Spqreddie, post: 136123, member: 1009"] Hello! I went to the garage and too a few pictures to try to better explain the situation. As you can see when all is assembled, the steering stem FF33, is not concentric into FF1 top clip. Despite having shimmed it as much as I could in order to move it to the right and center it, it is still not concentric. It could go in by slightly force it in. but then the fork doesn't move as free as the single link would move. there is some friction creating somewhere. I am sure that if I will add oil and grease and use it a wile, it will free up. So eventually i could even use the fork as is, but given it is still all apart this is as well the occasion to correct it. May be just by correcting the FF5 bushes? Any other Idea? where is should look? Thank you!!
