    The photos you took right after you finished your drop had like a tagged up wall

    I thought you gonna notch the frame? If you notch you should be able to carry your bike id say just watch the back fender with the runners might start rubbing on big dips with load, nothing a lil trimming can't fix though

    O I think I know where you talking bout haha next time when I go see my gf in town I might ask her take some pics:p

    that sound alike a good idea I believe the only issue you would have is on big bumps u might rub the bed brace above and the fender but maybe not

    The deed is done, except for the blocks which should be done in two weeks.

    image-1_7d280746eb9057e46006feb20dda429362865e91.jpg put her up on jacks

    image-2_2681067fae86b43ce63feb0d78f602d9073be97a.jpgThe fun begins removing these baby's, steel rivets :/

    image-4_b2d8f8fc0c765d66da7a265a57151078d385f811.jpg Just threw some nice flammable cardboard in front of the gas tank as a shield. (It's all I had lol) then grinded the rivets flat and drilled some of it out before I laid into it with a punch and a cold chisel with the sledge. Talk about work.

    image-5_f795ef4658eed51bc00c16cab148f5b9e8b62a3f.jpgSo I got them all off except for the one next to the gas tank. Like 4 inches away. So I figured screw it and bent the bracket down with the sledge then traced out my cut since I'd be cutting that rivet off anyway. I recommend an air hammer if you wanted to remove that last one, not the grinder. Lol

    image-6_6bf44b27db170d06d0320578b1ac085d340311e6.jpgbent bracket again

    image-7_735c1744fcd3d1bf3015a6722adbcbea081e8823.jpg cut that suckah out


    image-8_1db7d975c7e5ad6b944facb154ca73e383705fe6.jpg put the bracket in temp to drill the rest of the holes out

    image-9_ce8493ffc77248d3a85992a3c3e56b93cce5b5e4.jpg took the bracket back off again after drilling the holes and sprayed it with undercoating for protection against rust, this is Hawaii I'd be screwed in a week. Lol

    image-10_4aa86d827e3fc3a7a0197a96b33692631cadf26f.jpgPassenger side bracket, showing it how I feel about it. This side is way easier then the driver side though.

    image-11_a8f15dc1c0eb61361be968fa9bb8b19ff21eb419.jpg traced out the passenger side

    image-12_f9114d6ed04a968dcca49019bf001ec75f205dea.jpg forgot to show this for the drivers side, but made a line to follow with the grinder before going in for the kill.

    image-13_6d958a029712c10ddd030c24c4b7d1ad8c3dca16.jpg cut this one out

    image-14_ec4812e37e905835df087a102e5653a761174513.jpg done

    image-15_b5409643d502d089ad9d4d25f00984bd4274d9eb.jpgand done

    image-16_5be4097f07d23227d09ef209af77dabce658a29f.jpg bigger blocks to come soon
