And if the arm is +4" wouldn't that kill the handling on the Japanese bikes?  Or are they for drag racing mostly?




I think mostly they're for posing.

he probably put the exhaust back on after removing the wheel.. no?  i did the same thing just to keep the garage neat.

Thats the only way, but its kind of redundant. I diged back a few post, and sure enough i asked him to post pics once!

im confused, how did you get the rear wheel off without taking off the exhaust???

more pics of your bike? i love those gold wheels!!! PC?

I've done it both ways.  If you wiggle it a little you can get the wheel off with the exhaust on.  I can't remember if I took it off that time or not.  Looks like I didn't.  I think I usually end up getting the wheel off with the exhaust still attached but when I go to put the wheel on I end up removing it.  I think I might have even got the wheel to go on with the exhaust on as well, it's just very tight.  It is doable though, I think you are just risking scratching the wheel, I was a little more liberal with my old white one's since they were a little nicked up anyway. 

I haven't tried it since I put the arrows on.  Is it harder or easier with those? 

Here is a pic of the bike with the iphone since I got it back. 


and here is a sweet animated gif I made.  :)

Chop the bracket that holds the can to the bike and drill another hole. I did and it worked and looked sweet. I had a post about it too. I was able to remove the wheel with no issues.
