Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide

Cleaned up the weld slag today & then started trimming the lower arms for the caster mod. I trimmed them enough to yield 3/4" forward shift... But, to be honest I'm not liking how close things are between the lower arms & x-member even after the clearancing.

I really want some PB 1" forward arms but trying to keep this thing @ low/no budget. The caster mod helps drivability & front wheel position (somewhat). I just don't want to open another can-o-worms so I'll keep pushing forward. New lower shaft kits are scheduled to be delivered on Monday so I'll mock things up again to see if the budget approach will work.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
