Question Check Vehicle Alignment

Am getting ready to install a Progressive Touring Link on my 08 UC and the instructions state to check vehicle alignment per the service manual. My service manual hasn't arrived yet so am curious as to what this entails.

Do I need to wait for my service manual before installing?

Shaun

You can go to www.glide-pro.com and watch how the competitor does it.

Attached is a simplier method without buying line levels, etc.

The Progressive link, to my knowledge, is set up from the factory to bolt right up on a properly aligned bike. If it does, as it did on my '07, I wouldn't sweat it. Just bolt it on and enjoy.
