Re:Wide tire,??? 4 Years, 2 Months ago  
yeah I can see that when i was checking on clearance.
the stock fender does hide the fact its a wider fat tire under there. But it also fills in the rear fender just right. makes it look like its stuffed under there.

little more trimming and then bracing to make it stronger. should have it ride able by end of march.

still waiting for new bars and raisers. going with the drag bars on 3.5IN tall raiser. with my custom trimmed out seat should give me that pro street kind of ride.
might need taller raisers dont know just yet.

my main goal is fitting the 210 under there and running my stock rear brakes.

I'd get the seat on first.

If you trimmed then seat chances are that you have moved forward at bit. Once you have the seat finished then you can tell how much pullback you'll need.

Re:Wide tire,??? 4 Years, 2 Months ago  
this darn thing is ticking me off. im about to sell it.
naw just joking. its in but tight. shouldnt hit. unless my wife gets a bigger backside.lol the hard thing now is getting the brake caliber mount finished and make sure its safe. the subframe under the fender has been cut chopped, ground down. added more metal. ground some more. cut trimmed, braced and now rattle can black primer. still got alot more basic fabbing to do before its road ready. I have to get my air ride hooked up and working. if not ebay it and get the air bag unit. like droptop.
