Ridgie's ride.

[Mikal52]

Awesome thanks for that... 2 mods I'll get onto soon then

As for the wheels, haven't got them fitted yet. I'm at work overseas for another 3 weeks, will be home on the 20th so fingers crossed the wheels are at home and I'll get them fitted up then.

Okay. Look forward to it.

The rear plate makes a huge difference to having that lump hanging out the back - looks much better.

 

[FatBoy89]

Just picked up some checker plate to remove my rear bar, should be an easy enough change over.

Update.

Four new Bilsteins fitted last week. The Old man Emus had shat themselves.

The Bilsteins are a great bit of gear and the ride and work of the new shocks is a great improvement.

Hi Ridgie, Do the front the front struts have the three grooves that a circlip goes into so you can change the height??

Is that cause you got a 40? Haha ok Moore stealing this thread. . Always keen for updates ridgie.
How did you mount the checker plate?

 

[Ridgie]

Cheers FatBoy.

From memory I used the threaded holes already on the far left and right, and drilled some holes for the number plate lights which also hold the plate in place.

Any chance of getting a measurement of the top to bottom of the plate? Going to get it cut up to make it easier to fit up when I pull the step off.
Cheers
