I don't have a clue how much negative I need to run?.
I have 2 x swingarms and they need to get to powder coating so I want to elongate the adjustment slots rather now than later.
Thanks in advance.

You'll get different recommended numbers from different people but I doubt anybody will suggest you run negative caster.
I find it a bit unusual that you have finished components but haven't preplanned ahead with your geometry. What's the system & what's the rest of the numbers?

I was thinking the very same thing after I posted.
If the swing arms work like motorcycle units maybe the caster should be positive???. It's pulling, not pushing.
Sid I have zero knowledge on LSR and liners especially with the tandem steer.
Everything is fully adjustable both ways, negative to positive but Tom says the 5 bolts I have holding the axle to the hub are no good and it should be welded solid.
I want to but need to know the caster. I didn't know jack when I started this build so I added adjustment on that whole front end.
Help me mate?. Thanks.

I think I'm going to have to go this alone and use motorcycle fork numbers. 32*?????.

Who here runs a tandem steer front end?.
