You can trim the rudder horn, but there's no going back (easily) if you do. On the plus side, I don't think we've ever had a steering link returned because the buyer didn't like the handling. They have been extremely popular.
I have never understood why Van's rudder horns have so much extra "meat" in the vertical plane protruding from the rudder. Seems like it could be trimmed down a bit for less drag. Trim it and add a small teardrop fairing over it.
Has anyone done this? What were your results long term?
