    It does lower the pivot point below center. Had to be a reason they thought this was advantageous? Puts the pivot more in line with the lockup wedge on my example.

    When I open my straight fork Haenel 3 and my tear drip FLZ you can see the possible reason. The Haenel has the edge of the fork sticking out some? The curved lines and placement look better on the FLZ? Actually the FLZ makes the Haenel look kind of crude when opened? Lol
