There are nuts on the steering tie rods. 2 on each rod. All you have to do is loosen up both nuts(i think they are reverse threads, so you have to turn the other way) So once you get them both lostened up, turn the rod itself, which ever way you need the tire to go in/out. Once you get the tire where you want it, tighten those two nuts back up, make sure that your steering is straight, and there you go :beer:

I take a tie down straps, make sure the hadlebars are straight and go from the handle bars back to the grab bar to lock them tight(criss cross motion). I put on my dune tracker tires as they have a nice centerline to messure off of. Then I do as dinner mentioned and break both nuts loose on the tie rods.. The your able to adjust accordingly. Take a tape messure and messure in the front and the back (of your front tires) from tire to tire. If the messurement you get on the backside is close to the messurement you get in the front you should be good to go.. Then just tighten the two lock nuts on each side back up making sur eyou hold the rod still not to mess up the adjustment..

Give yourself some toe-in, don't have them perfectly straight. Helps out with stability at speed. I can't remeber exactly what it is off the top of my head, but I think its 1/4" (front of the tires 1/4" closer than the back of the tires).
