I'm not going to use it. I saw this article in Tech Tips, I'd be interested in any Tips or Suggestions from anyone who's done this mod. It's yours if you want to haul it off.

Redline, I see you're in Pasadena, I'm in Clear Lake.
I hadn't yet decided if I was going to do this, didn't want to cut my fender.
You're suggestion (and location) would be the easiest.
What would you like for it and could I maybe see it tomorrow?
