2.
If the trike has an instructor steering link, remove the bolt located mid-way on the
connecting tube to allow the inner tube to slide inside the outer tube as the fork
assembly in moved.
3.
Remove the long fork pivot bolt by reaching under the front fairing under the
instrument panel.
Note!
On the Navajo, the front mounting bolt for the instrument pod may have to be
removed and the rear mounting bolt loosened so the pod can be rocked rearward
slightly to allow the bolt to be removed or inserted. For the Scout model, there is just
enough room to remove the bolt from the rear position without removing the fairing,
but the instrumentation wiring must be temporarily repositioned to get the bolt out.
4.
Slide the fork assembly to the desired position and re-insert the pivot bolt and nut. Be
careful not to catch or kink the hydraulic brake line on the fork assembly.
5.
Align the steering pegs in a “NO Turn” position.
6.
Align the instructor steering pegs to be parallel with the front steering pegs and mark
the position on the inner tube through the hole in the outer tube where the locking bolt
needs to be. Drill a new 3/16” hole in the inner tube. Do not drill straight through.
Drill each hole from its respective side.
7.
Re-insert the bolt in the instructor’s connecting link between the front and rear pegs.
