Talking wheelie bars are on
Due to clearance issues, ended up with changing to a formula bumper for bar clearance...but doesn't look bad all in all

Looks good.

How far tucked in are your rear tires? I'm not sure how much I should have mine tucked in for my new setup..

Getting rid of the stock gas tank really free's up a lot of room .

Looks great. We now have to convince some the racing bodies to understand that even though wheelie bars "may" not be necessary, they sure do add a confidence level.

"maybe sometime late in 07" ... why so long? Get it done and to the track

Good luck in your build.

Don't you just love when a plan comes together.

Good luck with the rest of your project.
