Sorry about the lay down. That has to suck. As far as the 240 kit, are you just going for looks or is there another reason. I haven't seen a RS with a 240 rear tire on it, but I bet it looks waycool. Seems like alot of time and money. Do you have both?

ITs doable with a kit, or on your own if you can do some real basic fabrication. Its looks incredible. If you want a pointer to a guy who's done it himself for pointers, let me know.

Remember you are going to have to scrap the rear fender and its subassembly. So going to have to find an alternative fender and mounting system. I don't hear from anyone who did it that its a bad ride. I suspect if you use MC tires and not car tires its just fine.

You can do it yourself on the cheap (I have some instructions) or you can buy 'kits' from various vendors (check out Hellriser).

You want easy and expensive or hard and cheap.
