Re: laying frame question

Ya might want to address those sharp edges on those weld beads so close to the bag. That's a puncture looking for a place to happen.

Will you have to modify your inner fenders and how much into the bed?

Re: laying frame question

Hey Pharcyde05....you had better get that brake line changed around. It's got quite a bit of strain on it. They don't like to bend 90 degrees too many times.
