I'm sorry but I honestly don't understand that explanation (maybe since I'm not a native english speaker), could you elaborate?

Based on the measurements of the triumph tool to be even the left side measurement should be 18.375 mm shorter.
I have mine at 18.80 mm shorter on the left side and the belt wanders from left to right on the pulley.

Thanks for posting the pictures, that clears everything out. I'll test that measurement next time I'm in the garage.

I just meassured my triumph tool and for me the difference left to right should be 18.415 mm according to this calculation from the tool:
RH: 44.85, LH: 8.02: 22.425 - 4.010 => The tool is 18.415 mm longer on the RH side.
I then measured the adjustment on the bike as you showed in your photos and got it 0.6 mm stronger on the RH side which is quite similar to what you got and my belt runs slightly to the left in the rear pulley.

Yes still doing them. Only I have to get some more built up. Been ultra busy on my normal stuff so these are running a bit slow. I also have some more Ali throttle tubes going through after a few people have showed interest - and I need one for my speedy
So big thanks to those that have got them and sorry to those still waiting

I guess he does not frequent these forums so much any more. I am looking for these adjusters and any tools that Mat might have to offer. Not in a huge hurry but would be nice to get things going. Hope he (and everyone) is safe. I know Coronavirus is pretty bad in the UK at the moment. Take care everyone!

Actually if you click on his forum name above it will give you an email address, try that, he was last here in November.
