The left side has a full 1/8" which is great.. the right side is closer.. why? I cannot seem to explain this phenomenon haha. However it has not marred or scratched the tank and I can still go full lock.. so I think is just that close.
looks tough man. why a rigid weld on though if you bought a nightster? you could have saved yourself some dough and bought something used and made a project out of it but whatever, to each his own. get that camera out!

But now im stuck with it.. some aspects of it ave grown on me.. others have not, hopefully I can find a happy middle.
As for the weld on tail...I still havent decided. I have spoken to both Led Sled and Kansas Kustom and have been in touch with Warren JR from Cook's (as they are a few blocks away.)
However.. Led Sled's ship it to us deal is a bit tempting as far as convenience.
