Fitted the rear one today, has anyone DIYed the front one or is it a garage job at Rogers due to its difficulty. Also rolled my arches today, not allot but hopefully enough to clear the spaced 285 rears now. Set the rear bar to the middle hole rather than hardest as I normally do! biggrin

I'd hang fire on the front one. Get used to the rear and then decide. I've been running rear only for a year and really don't think I need the front.

That's like having a big slice of cake and not eating it Gary! Front ones sat in the garage so it's gonna go on at some time. smile

I've done front and rear on butch. Front is a mission. It's a two man job, supporting the engine a dropping the subframe. Cutting it out is a good option. It's the getting out due to various stupid bends that make it awkward, fitting is far easier. Well worth the agro tho.
