That was my thought too, at most I would think the ride wouldnt be so smooth but I wouldnt want to have it on long.

Sorry for the sideways pic, don't know how to change that.

That is great and makes sense. I hadnt thought about how difficult removing the original style mount would be..but of course I already found one and got excited about having things as factory as possible when I can. I hope the spare just hangs out for many years.
