Default baker primary adjuster

anyone take a look at their baker manual adjuster after putting some miles on it.has not been good enough weather to get many miles on mine yet,but seen some pic's of a newly bent one. seems pretty beefy to me and don't really know how you could bend it.

Took a look at mine after 1,000 miles, still solid as a rock. On that bending deal, you might have read that over on the tech talk forum. That was an earlier model design and in my opinion it was bent by the installer's forcible installation. I wouldn't put much stock in his comments.

Take a look at this photo. Do you really think that these two layers of steel, one supporting the other, is going to bend? If so, how?


Forums tend to pass along a lot of crap these days. Gotta turn on the filter from time to time.
