That said, I drop mine pretty fast and have never had a problem with it trying to get away from me when it touches the ground. Just a light hold on the left clip-on is more than enough to give it some stability until I throw a leg over it, or lean it on the sidestand.
If you mean adjust, you mean the bolts that allow it to go up or down, or side to side. To me that's all dependant on the dimensions of the swingarm and doesn't offer much opportunity for change.

I guess I could shave off the perpendicular piece that sticks out of the sidestand, lol

Showed up today with the box looking like it was dropped a couple of times.
Guess I'll be using the standard padded part for awhile since it didn't come with spools.

Nice that it's toolless. First time lift was quick, easy and filled with paranoia.
