Default Installed Spute stabilizer, now what?

Hi yall,

I installed a Spute kit on my 94 Dyna, but the instructions didnt say anything about adjustment....
Are you supposed to tighten the adjustment to the sides at all or are you just supposed to mount it where it fits and match up with the bolt holes and then leave it there?

Loosen the heim joints for install. Once they are installed, do a drivetrain alignment and adjust accordingly. They should sit in a state of happy medium. Meaning the shouldn't really be pushing or pulling on anything.

I See.

With drivetrain alignment do you mean the process of making sure the brake disc`s are at 90 degrees in both ends and then adjusting the upper engine mount or is there some other prosess i cant find?
I have tried to search on youtube, but cant find any other prosess then the one in the service manual...

Adjust the two stop bolts so the mount is centered in the frame, then adjust the Heim joints so there is no tension on them.

There is a service bulletin about the motor mounts and the gap between the motor and the top of the front mount rubber, it’s in the newer service manuals but not the older ones. They also updated the motor mount install instructions and I had better luck (better spacing and less vibration) when I followed the newer installation procedure.

Yeah, sorry I wasn't clear. You said "tighten the adjustment to the sides" and I immediately thought rear. (I have the Predator mount in front.)
