How hard was it to install the flush mount axle?
The toughest part is drawing in the left side fixed cap. It takes a fair share of omph to draw it in. You'll swear that the something is going to break before it pulls all the way in, nothing will snap. Such a simple part dresses the front end up nicely.
Here are a couple of pics of the flushmount axle, chrome HD wheel spacers and Heartland front fender. I removed the front fender after the pics because the color match was off so I am going to get it repainted.
I have an extra rear fender getting chopped, I will post pics when it's done. I am also going to order a Dunlop Elite 3 250/40/18 because I got a nail in my rear tire. The next mods include chrome hand controls, chrome thunderstar rotors, chrome rotor bolts, chrome sprocket bolts and Arnott air ride. After those mods it will be done for a while.
Where did you purchase those covers where your factory seat mounts were located?
