    The steering on my new to me trike was not centered. I removed the link shown, cleaned it up a bit, made it longer, and reinstalled it. I have been looking for a photo that shows the proper orientation of the link. I have not been able to find one. Almost all the images of an EZ-3 USX on the web are of the HD. Mine is not an HD.

    There is some paint wear on the link where it was rubbing on the frame. I adjusted it so it does not rub anymore, I am just trying to verify that I have done the correct installation.

    You're right, that's a hard picture to turn up. The best I could find is this one (below) and it appears that you've got it installed correctly...

    This picture shows it pretty well on an X3 USX, from the Utah Trikes website (here)...

    Excellent! Thanks for the help. I guessed right this time.
