Hi Mate.
13" wheels with skinny tyres will give you plenty of lock.
Cheers Mark.

Someone, Valman? Cut down the nylon stops on the rack.

nah think it was mat91 or someone.

I know you can cut down and re-weld the steering knuckle on the front strut too. You will however need a bloody good welder to weld it back strong enough!! You'll need to adjust the rack accordingly too.

Matt91. That sounds more like it!

I remember when F1 Moto were on about cutting the knuckle and re-welding.
Not a wise move for 9/10 people.
