Ranch Kid from way back,.... that got Old !
RG : I set out to remove 3/4 of an inch but wound up removing about 7/8" !!!!! my recopicating saw blade was so worn it would not cut straight no matter what I did so I straightened the cut with the hand grinder.... adding almost 1/4" to my original cut.... (OOPS!)
the metal was easy to weld with my 6011- 3/32" rod and AC stick welder.... after the change I painted it with flat black ( all I had) and then changed the suspension settings... that changed allot of things ! I put the forks all the way down on their hardest settings and raised the steps on the stock rear shocks and only had about 1/8" rear wheel clearance ! but I found I could still sit on the bike and run it through the gears with no problem.... but after a few rides I felt the bike was just too rough riding,..... so I went back to the softest setting I could get everywhere..... that gave me about 1/2" rear wheel clearance again....
what do you have your suspension set at now ? the softest setting I assume ?
