Awwwwww, that baby is getting re-skinned for the R4... it's a bit too colorful for a race as large as the R4. ;) LOL.

Noose, I was figuring in the .050" clearance to get the total 1.375".

Good figuring. ;)

The only thing bad about Retro is admitting that you remember doing it originally.

Ahh..another tidbit. This should probably be posted in the main R4 thread too.

When you show up on Sunday, March 13th and find out that tech closed 1 hour earlier or you have an hour less time to get ready do not ask for special treatment because you didn't know Daylight Savings Time starts that day.

Oh my, you said! ;)

Yup. Starts 2 AM on that Sunday which means that is about the the time you will be crawling into bed after the bench racing session at the Holiday Inn and you haven't yet realized it's actually 3 AM.

Ray:

I mark and cut mine at 1.300" in case the tires are a little big or any other issue to make sure I'm under the 1.375"

At least the clock on the "north wall" will be correct again... it's been running about a hour fast since last fall. ;) :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

To those that read this thread before the R4 thank you. To those that didn't well you can't say I didn't tell you so.
