I spent a loooong time on ebay looking for them bad boys, set me back 150, which is pretty good, i think he payed about that to get them chromed in the first place.

Need to roll the gaurds asap, even with an adjustable panhard rod still scrubs full rotations lol. Inverted my subs yesterday, I'll get some pictures up tomorrow.

Told you those springs are crazy low Mark ;)

It's doable, you just need to get inventive with a hammer! You might find it scrubs further up inside the guard, where the metalwork is actually able to be beaten out toward the outer skin without interfering for quite a distance.. see where the rub marks are, lay down, put on some glasses and go nuts with a hammer. I did, on my old VR 304, and it worked :)

Haha yeaah it sat it just where I wanted it though so they where perfect!

I'll be getting the lip of the gaurds pushed back flat soon by my mate, but other then that, it doesnt appear to be scrubing inside the gaurds, which is good. :)

By the time shes back on the road, that should be sorted and with any luck will be living the low life. ;)
