Sharonville area just south of Kings Island

Watch extending it doesnt the air cooled R's use a linkage that is mounted right above the carrier. Doesnt look like any fun to extend one of them.

Check that picture out.... You gonna have to find a tubing that will fit inside that odd shaped tubing and then put a cross bar in there for the shock link to bolt to, because after you move the carrier back you gotta have a place for the link to bolt too.

Can be done just not as easy as the square tube 85-6 swing arms

I may just completely hack it off after the link and re do the back of it.
