Shim-Style Alignment: Why Fat Man Fabrications Upper Arms Won’t Slip

Fat Man Fabrications front suspension with shim-style alignment and forged, knurled upper control arm shafts

FAT MAN FABRICATIONS HAS USED A SHIM STYLE ALIGNMENT SINCE THEIR INCEPTION. Although Fat Man always has and will continue to use upper arm shafts that feature OEM style forged construction with stamped knurling rather than inadequate cast copies, this design evolution will completely erase any chance of the alignment slipping as can happen with a slotted upper arm mount.

Specs at a glance

  • Adjustment method: shim-style (no slotted mounts)
  • Upper-arm shafts: OEM-style forged construction
  • Grip: stamped knurling, not cast copies
  • Benefit: alignment that holds under vibration and load
