Re:Low Budget Bar Hopper 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
While I was impatiently waiting for parts today I decided to go ahead and do "The Flip"...

Here is the stock stance...



I removed the rear wheel and inner fender (sorry I forgot to take a pic with the inner fender removed, but I did remove it and it was much easier with it out of the way...





I then removed the relay arm and put it in the vise...



Notice the profile of it...



Now a little work with the grinder and here is the new profile...





...and reinstalled



Here is the new stance compared to the old - subtle but still looks much better!



It took me about 2 hours and was easier than I thought it would be!

So I could flip it. It is alot easier with the rear wheel removed and inner fender out of the way.

Good news: My banjo fittings came in today for my front brake

Bad News: They sent me 90 Degree Fittings instead of straight ones!
