Ok I am confused here, Are you saying that when I back the screw out that it will push the wheel forward and that eliminates having to kick it forward?
I don't see any clip that would retain the screw and cause the wheel to move forward when it is backed out.
Some guys modify the adjuster, I just stuck them in the swing arm. They work. I did it because my stock adjusters were slipping out of the arm. I just haven't gotten around to modifying them. That is my winter project along with the rear wheel change. You can sleeve down the hole size.
To be honest with you.... I haven't had to do an adjustment yet. I would probably kick the wheel just out of habit. I don't have any side screws holding the adjuster in place.
the way mine are, I don't have to manually move the wheel. But I also helicoiled a piece of angle aluminum and had them tig welded to the plate, drilled holes in the swing arm and ran set screws. So, I don't have to kick anything forward, stock you might, nut it's STILL a far better design. If you just hold the plate in the swing arm with your hand it will move forward by itself.

Ya I still have to kick wheel forward but I love the look. I modified the Katana axle retainers to work with the Bandit end caps, would be easy as heck thought to machine some bushings to use in the Bandit axle retainers.
