The rear cab mount on the orig frame is exactly 3 feet from the front cab mount. Do you guys know if that is correct or is my Burb special. The new frame I have puts the mounts about 44" or so apart.
Thanks

Anyone have a 55 frame they can measure front mount hole to rear mount hole?
Thanks

I thought the cab mounts were the same, but I am wrong I guess.
