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.

spring for the triad matt. i run one and i like it a lot. similar to paul's. it's based on the wietmeister(sp) design.

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.

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

You'll need to change jetting also in alot of instances..

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.

Hey matt, I have a center linkage that I bought...I have not opened the package yet...come on by and I can show it to you...then you can see if it is any better..

I also have the 103 Nickies to show you....

later, herb
