I had to massage the rear fender and swingarm substantially, in order to allow the bigger donut full travel. It was all worth it though, the rear end looks amazing. This is a very time consuming and frustrating experience in case you've never tried it. When you get this type of support from a dealer and manufacturer, I like to let everybody know about it. If you could mention their name in your article I would be most grateful.

The Russell fittings were all re-chromed to a show finish.
