Yeah, lowering the NT by 2 inches makes a big difference. Good stuff, I can hardly wait to hear you make any more adjustments, better yet toss in some images so we may see.

now that it has stopped raining I got to ride it. I like the stiffness. Almost like going from a family sedan to a sports car. I'll try to post some pics next week. I also replaced rocker box covers for chrome. Really changed the look of the engine
