I can't take the CB Performance linkage anymore. Between not being able to get any straight angles and the wear that's built into it, I need something else. What system is everyone else using? The Triad system looks pretty good. Any ideas?
Thanks, Matt |

Those ball and socket set-ups suck.
I use a Automotion set-up that is sweet, but I don't know if anyone is making one like it now. It uses hiem joints for the bar pivots and threaded rods to set the adjustment. Attached image(s)

Matt, I've got a CB that was purchased about a year ago and it is straight. It's very nice and smooth. They have different bases, maybe you just need the correct air cleaner base.

I am running a center mount twist linkage. I think it is a bugpack part but it is superior in my opinion to the POS cross bar designs. I have done the cross bar and don't like them at all. If you aren't running a center mounted fan I would look at something like this.
Paul if you would swap those tall stacks for the 3 inch stacks you will pick up HP and a better torque curve. I lost several HP on the dyno when I put those on. |

Brett,
I don't agree with you on the center mount twist set-up. Way too much play in all those moving parts. And as for the tall stacks-well they look cool and scare the 911 boys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Paul |

Paul, I have lost 18HP from those tall stacks on my dyno! They KILL top end power!
The stacks on my 914 are only 3/4" tall and I make power to 7,300 RPM!! Switch them with shorter ones and watch what happens, i swear. |

OK,OK,OK
(this happens every time I post a picture, somebody finds something I should have done different. <_< ) I'll change them before my next autox. Now back to the linkage question... Paul |

There is no play in my set up. I took the Kit I bought apart and modified it, so that it has a tight fit. The ball joints are the same as the ones included in some of the high end cross bar kits.
