The outside tires com in at 62.25", I'm going to live with it. There is always the next time The body is 60", so maybe fender flairs will do it. Looks like I need to mount the air shock to the outside of the lower A-arm, they are rubbing the axle on the rubber boots.

Redid the rear shock setup, but now I have to wait till Thursday to get 2 new longer metric bolts for them. I also cut out the old diff. mounts & tail pipe hangers.

OK Skip, what color is it? On your avatar you have a red body, on the recent pics you have a blue body??

Nope, got to wait for a 1.5-160mm X2 Bolts to mount the lower shock. Couldn't find them here in Knoxville. The bolt will go in the stock shock mount hole & stick out to mount the air shock with a spacer. Drop was 2" rise on shock tower, lowing the IRS (8" ground clearance) as well + the 1/2 rise on the crossbar attached to the bike. I've got you to thank for all this work, read your Trike build & body work, Thanks. I't been fun & I need it in my life. Got to keep the old gry matter working. Total invest up to now is about $3000.00, everything. Less then 1/2 the cost of a kit. And it's only been 1 month, including a lot of head scratching. I've had good help & met some very friendly members from here as well. It's like driving a VW, have to remember (CRS) that the fenders stick out from the body. Jack is HB, got on sale about $89.00, like the low profile.

Waiting on the trunk, then I think it's into cold storage till I get the rear body. A lot of work to do on that

Don't forget, I started with a stripped down bike & had to find & wait for all of the body parts, still waiting on the trunk. I've gotten a lot of help with this from members here & but most came off of eBay. Wait one week for ad to finish, then 1-2 weeks to get the parts. Then I had to find nuts & bolts for the parts because most of them don't come with them Just got a set of running boards & it didn't have the mounting brackets for the rear, plus the gear shift was left in the rod & had to buy that also. What a pain in the butt
