    Hey Dudes, I recently got myself Lightech chain adjusters for my Blade and Street Triple R, now the Blade's went on hunky dory but the STR were opposite way around! Meaning my axle bolt is now on the sprocket side instead of brake disc side! Now my question is!
    Is that ok?
    Every bike I've had the axle nut is on brake side including the STR but it was the only way the adjuster would fit on! Any thoughts would be appreciated guys.
    Cheers Trev

    Makes no difference at all! I know some people that don't like the nut showing and change them around

    Better on right tho when you torque up axle bolt you push against adjuster opposed to away on chain slack if u get my drift

    Thanks again guys :D I have been enlightened!
    I am officially a cupid stunt!:rolleyes:
    The adjusters are correct! When I took my wheels off to get my M7rr's fitted I installed the rear axle wrong way round, the axle nut is on the left on the Triumph, a quick visit to MCN's street triples for sale and pinch zoom at the pics on me phone confirmed the errors of my ways. :confused:
