Default FXR Pivot Block Position???

For a 1993 FXR what position do the pivot blocks go? I removed the blocks and got them powder coated but forgot how they went on. Does the pin go on the top or bottom and are they in the forward or back position? Thanks.

Pins toward the top and one side will be forward (left), the other will be rearward (right).

It's like putting your shoes on - once you get one of them on correctly, the rest of them aren't too hard to figure out.....

Thanks! Had a feeling they were towards the top, was just making sure.

I believe there is a picture in your manual.

Yeah, I wrote before thinking. The pins go up but end caps are different right to left. They should each orient so the pin is slightly forward (so you can see them)

Is that correct mp?
