Hi Clem whats your set up on the front to get it that low.
adjustable front beam that was on it welded in low so dose not raise much and ball joints at to much angle? So might raise it and put some drop spindles on to take out the ball joint angles ?

a good idea it will handle better with the dropped spindles but you can get long travel ball joints.

ive seen the ball joints but figured would be better to go drop spindle route ??

Keeping it clean... with OCD thats the point... it is fun to keep it clean  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Looking good.....

Just from experience and hard to tell due to the angles of the pics... is the end of the exhaust pointing slightly up?  If it is (and my one did at first) I was stunned how good they are at collecting rain and condensation.   Kicked all sorts of wet crap out untill I turned it slightly down and its much better now.

I did notice the tailpipe pointing up, it was built to point down slightly
