    Yeaa cuzz ive been messing around with the cylinders, put the arm back on and was looking to find the right area but damnn its a little hard. Even with the cylinder in hand and putting it up top to find the right spot i can see there is no way i can cut using the shock hole as a center guide.

    WHO GOT THEM PICS!!!!! HELP!!!

    YOU CAN USE THE SHOCK HOLE..... IF:


    YOU MODIFY THE A ARM BAR BY CUTTING IT IN 3 PARTS AND WELDING A HALF MOON PIECE OF COIL IN THE MIDDLE. CONNECCTING ONE PART TO THE OTHER... IT WILL BASICALLY WRAPP AROUND THE CYLINDER...
    APPARENTLY ITS COOLER TO "DICK RIDE" THAN IT IS TO "LOW RIDE" THESE DAYS...

    Ive seen that done. And its not a bad idea. But I want to keep it as OG as possible. I would like to go with the other option of not cutting that up.
