Nope. It has the ride height adjuster as well as the HPA.

ok. Torque values sorted. 'Metelastic bush' sorted (people seem to ignore it, and I'll but putting an RVF linkage on now anyways).
Greg.
How is the metalstatic sorted?

Seems like people ignore it .... and I am putting an RVF linkage on instead of the VFR one and RVFs do not have the melelastic thingy.

You can ask but I cannot say, came setup by RO, you will have to contact him I am afraid.

Now, I find that very interesting. Nitron's own product list says specifically that adding the HPA means you lose ride height adjustment! Now I'm confused... lol

I have an RC30 linkage on mine so it might not apply but I will check the spacing on the dogbone tomorrow for you.

I dont think it will be much / any kind of issue.

Sorted. It is not an issue I believe. There is a sleeve that runs through the center of each mount point on the linkage knuckle. The sleeve is slightly longer than the knuckle is wide so it is possible for it to stick out slightly. Doesn't look like an issue.

RE the RC30 linkage, what is the difference? Is it more linear, or more progressive, or increases ride height, or ?

Many thanks,

Greg.

My 35 had the gap too in the linkage. I just torqued the bolts u and went for a ride. Didn't crash so guess it's fine :grin:
