Like I stated in the other thread, I went out and started to do my stretch. I have NEVER used a set of extensions before, always just built a diff arm. But I got a killer deal on these(120 bux). They were supposed to be 2-4", but turns out they are 3-7" ext.When i set my wheel to 4" over, the tire is buried into the brake hose hoop. "This just sucks" I'm thinking.... So- I will have to go 6" over to clear the hoop, which leaves me room for my 2lb bottle ahead of the tire...Darn...doesn't that just suck....NOT!! Also installed my Powerbronze undertail and new "V" purge nozzle. Now I have to replumb my N2o system for 3 bottles. Yes 3, also have 2- 1.25# bottles that go right inside the rear footpeg brackets, like where the cans are on a HMF dual hi-mount system.Here's a pic of it in progress. Oh yea, also installed my new PMR billet sprocket cover too.Here's a few pics. Do you think the chain gaurd looks a tad long??? I might trim it up an inch or so...

#1, spare yourself the aggrevation of putting you hump (or seat) back on before re connecting the cable simply by just removing the 2 phillips head screws next time!

#2, I usually just throw the chainguard in the trash, makes cleaning the chain a jiffy.

Been there already... how do you get the hump back off then???Without trashing anything...

And thanks for the compliment. BTW, the strip I race at will require me to have a chain guard, that is why I bought it.

Hey are you interested in anymore old school bikes? I have an 86 1100 all stock, very good condition (excellent project bike), and I also have an 86 750 that is stretched (top end blown), cut transmission, slick on back, wheelie bars, and lots of other parts. I need to get rid of this stuff. I am not giving it away, but I am selling at a good price!!
