pingpong Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 How far froward did you move your axle?, and what is the wheel base? Just from the pics it appears you will have some clearance issues on the front part of the fender.. unless you trim a lil :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Sorry for above.....Why the heck doses this board allow posting before logging in!?!? CW I left it that way so people having difficulties due to forum glitches can still comunicate their problems. At least that was the rationale. Not sure if it really helps any. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
