[QUOTE="Spqreddie, post: 136244, member: 1009"] Thank you Norman, it's different from standard, but the design is close, as it retains the eccentrics system. The spindle is just located differently in order to change the fork movement keeping it vertical (not going forward) and keeping the anti-dive characteristic of the standard Girdraulic. The three bolts are to fix the steering damper arm. I don't think it is badly machined, but I will definitely measure everything again to understand where the issue is. And as I can read from the previous posts, probably it is not in the stem but in the links. [ATTACH type="full"]40983[/ATTACH] Thank you Greg, Will try to measure that way! Thanks, but havent tried it on the UFM yet, this is a "dry assembly" not on the bike. I will dismantle it and put everithing on the UFM without the blades All the components are new, including steering cups balls bearings and fork completely refurbished, so no reference to the past unfortunately. As mention will try now to assembly everything on the UFM without blades. Thank you Simon!! This probably what's going on indeed! Will check first symmetricity on the top link as you indicated. Thank you Albervin, will go that way! assembling everything on the UFM with no blades and take it form there thank you, it's clear. will have a look like this! indeed, good method, will just need to turn bars to that dimension. Sure I will fix it an make it right! this is why I was seeking suggestions. Otherwise me too i can not sleep! Eddie [/QUOTE]
