    mike,

    thanks for the link (y) ...i am glad i didn't see that before i started or i would not have done them...chris and i built and installed them without removing the wheel...removing them might make it easier if you are doing it by yourself..we removed the spring and mocked up every thing and then put the spring and bar on..having the extra set of spring plates you loaned me was a big help...frank...:bouncy:

    Excellent work on the bars. What rod ends did you use?
