Abstract
A device is described, for adjusting the inclination of a front fork of a two- or three-wheeled vehicle having a steering assembly (S) including a frame tube (3) and a steering tube (4) rotatable in the frame tube. The adjusting device comprises an upper connecting unit (10a) and a lower connecting unit (10b), for rigidly connecting the steering tube (4) to two substantially parallel fork rods (5). The connecting units (10a, 10b) are prearranged for enabling to vary in an adjustable manner the inclination of the fork rods (5) relative to the steering tube (4), without the need of relative separation or disassembling among the units, the fork rods and the steering tube.
