Are the bar "pillow blocks" movable? If I can't have the fat bar, it's better not to have it on the rear if you like whee moments and countersteering...
Thanks, Justice. No those are not movable, one possible solution if you want to run a fatter bar would be to install a Gen 1 LWB bar. That would fit and at the same time give you a bit fatter bar.

Find a Gen1 LWB bar. They are an exact match on the Gen1 SWB. It is as thick as the Gen2 bar, Ask me how I know... oh wait, just look in my sig and realize I forgot between swaps. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

This dude at the bar says "you need to drink, Bud, it makes you wiser" as he slobbered all over me. I don't know what he means. Sincerely, Bud <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Richard, how do you like the gen2 steering box? Don't you have to redrill the frame to make it bolt up? The Gen2 steering box made all the difference in the world. I had a set of flat 33 12.50 on the Montero for a short time in the driveway and the new box turned them like they were bald factory tires. I did have to widen 1 hole and drill a new one, but nothing to turn me off from doing it to the Raider this spring. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

oem factory radio connector
oem good tank radiator for a/t
Type R sticker Tip, when using factory radio connector, ground the new radio to the Body. The PO who installed radio in my 89 used factory harness to run radio ground which was insufficient for the higher power unit. When I grounded unit to frame it solved a bunch of problems..like the lights dimming every time I kicked mad Bass...and radio occasionally cutting out.
