The tie bar must be free to pivot at both ends otherwise you will effectively lock the suspension, the tie bar I got with my anti dive kit had a crude type of rose joint to allow this. I wouldn't leave nuts and bolts loose on suspension though  

or you can change it for some proper rose joints as I did.

Central to what?

central so you get a 90degree angle like this, or at least that's my theory

Nice BGM front dampers, nice powerful disc brake, alloy wheel etc.
So why the crap bracket for the lower damper mounting?
I had them one, both sheard through due to metal fatigue.

I got a great pair of the right trailing links, made by MBD, and they are superb.

One day, but not high on the priority list at the moment.

Ok
Just keep an eye on those lower brackets for any hairline cracks.
Enjoy your scoot and keep the faith.
