    I'm always suspicious of "plug and play" LOL. Never had anything that didn't require some modifications or finagling.

    Rootin' for you. Watch that back. Hate it when I do it to myself and when I do I take Advil.

    Do you have any recent pics of your bike?

    I can't take advil , I take blood thinners , so my Doc gave me some soft pain pills just strong enough to take the edge off & I can still motivate ,
    No new pics bike is setting just like the last pics I posted ,I still ahev a bit to ask about so I did find my way to town & indy shop for good info ,He owes me a big faver so he's going to pay on some labor for my new back wheel & make me some spacers as well for the wheel to fit right :cool:

    Spacers have to be made perfectly flat. I had to make one for my new brake and spent a half hour getting it just right. I started out with a 3/4" chrome spacer and ground it to 5/8".

    Maybe your indy has a lathe and can turn his own?
