Leaner/Rigid convertible rig?

How do you align a leaner? Just toe it in a little and it's set? Just curious:o)
Thanks, WesP
Some toe in. Placement of Bottom mounts (pivot points)is critical to how it works...think it out ...probably a new thread woudl be best?

Oops. I missed the post.
I put a little toe in just like the rigid rig. The very first ride was so solo motorcycle-like so I didn't experiment at all.
No un-even wear on the sidecar tire but m/c front tire got right side worn more. I had ribbed pattern tire (Bridgestone Accolaide) on and the 2nd and 3rd ribs from the center worn more than the rest. Maybe due to the fact that I need to pull the sidecar around in left corner.
I replaced it with more continuous pattern tire (Bridgestone Spitfire 11F) and en-even wear seems to be less noticeable.
