Below is a pic of the wishbone brace on my 15 touring. As you can see it is not symetrical.
But is that because its bent or because it was made that way? Anyone have a similar brace they can compare it to?
Thanks
schuh
Schuh -- It looks bent to me. The leg on the right looks to be correct. They will need to bend a bit in the up-and-down direction, but not to the side as the left one does.
Dis a search and found this old advertisement. Looks like it is bent similar to mine !!!
Opinions?
Bud, when you say it is not symetrical, do you mean the bends are different at each end? If they are, then one or the other is definitely bent. The bends in the advert look shallower than yours. The less the bend, the better the re-inforcement. Impact at the front axle will cause the rod to bend, and if there is already a bend in it, it will bend more readily at that point. The best rods are straight, with the necessary offset right at the perch nut.
Hope this helps.
