Cutting the frame tube for sure. I had to do it this way due to how the new zx handlebars sit. If I would have swapped stems my handlebars would be 6" taller.

I did zero measuring btw. I just cut where bones told me to and it was perfect

Do you still have the 10-12 mm axle shaft or did you sell that with the wheels? Where did you get that from?

I still have them. You can get them from mnnthbx.com you'll have to email him for them instead of buying the disk to drum adapter

My front end was way to high

luckily the front end on my ruckus became to low with my new headlight on there. So I swapped springs and got the elites nose down a little farther. I wasn't satisfied, I got lucky and a set of ultra low fork tubes came up for sale. I swooped and now my front end is dumped. Love it

You should put a lower profile tire in the front maybe, like a 80/90 or maybe even a 90/65. Looks great w those wheels dumped out.

Shoot!......with the rrgs forks, the tire is the only "suspension" he's gonna have!

I'm running no Springs and a 2.75x10 tire up front n I cringe at railroad tracks, but that's it really. No suspension isn't really that bad.

I'm only going to part if the frame goes. I'll keep nickel and diming it together until then. Still so much needed
