I just set mine up with an acculevel camber/caster digital gauge that had the screw on adaptor with Seth at sf racing - I believe he got his from left-hander chassis. FYI the spindle nut on our ktms are smaller then the hondas - found that out after we were all setup.

Hope this helps everyone!

I have the camber/castor gauge. Not that one. There is a more accurate one: Camber Gauge and Castor Tools

See camber/castor gauge #2 on the middle of that page. It works like a charm and it is always VERY accurate. The camber readings are my favorite because it takes literally 3 seconds to do it. The castor on the other hand is more tricky as it requires you to first stick some tape at certain angles on the floor, etc. Then again, I think there is no other way to do a castor reading so that's as simple as it'll get.

I also have the laser toe gauge which was pretty expensive. Word of advice - don't get the laser toe gauge unless you are a serious Formula 1 racer or somewhere up there. Not really good for quads.
