X-metal turn plate

[BlowStuffUp]

is the x-metal turnplate compatible with stock steering, or do you have to have UMI?

thanks

UMI only, and you wil need straight bars

You can fabricate a spacer and purchase a bolt and make it work with the stock bushing system.

Nope, I think it's refered to as the C.I.C.A.G.S. (Crap, I Can't Afford Good Steering). :sneaky:

thats me. i just want quicker steering but i dont want to have to buy the UMI guts. maybe ill fabricate something.

i think the turn plate comes with straight bars, or at least theyre in the picture.

lets call it cigar steering, it almost looks like cigar, easy way to remember our cheapassness!

I just put a X-metal on my UMI set up, but havent tried it out yet. Looks like about -2" I'll gain.

Hey dufus....you ride with THE most ghetto rigged group of riders on this continent. Notch the steering nozzle it's the easiest fastest way to get quicker/further throw.

 

[BlowStuffUp]

that is very true. i was gunna ask for it for my birthday. maybe ill ask for the UMI set up instead. If i buy the set from UMI, is that turn plate quciker

did you skip my post? STEER-RING NO-ZZLE. You know, the plastic part on the pump that turns???/

if all youre trying to do is achieve a quicker steering ratio, you can do that by:

a: moving the driving coupler out
b: moving the driven coupler in

since nobody mentioned it, youll want to notch out the nozzle to allow for full travel w/o stressing the cable. LOL

b: moving the driven coupler in...

Changing the length of the cable will not change the ratio, only the full left, full right, and middle.
Can you make a bike go faster by putting on a longer chain?

The only way to change the ratio is to move the attachment points (like changing sprockets on a bike).
Move the attachment point by the handlebars away from the pivot point, and move the one on the nozzle towards the pivot point.

And, like SFL said, don't forget to grind out some of the nozzle to allow for more throw.

i meant in and out from their respective pivot points.
