Don't forget Naff has said above there is a lot of work shaping them to fit. They generally don't fit the panel perfectly and you're left shaping/shaving the mating surface of the flare until it does. Also you have to cut them where they meet the bullbar and that's no simple thing.

Wheels are 16 x 8 and zero offset. The zero is pretty much the minimum needed to get the 305 width tyres out to the flares. Smaller tyres (i.e. 285) would mean going to a negative offset which limited my choices in rims. They're out there, just not in large available numbers and styles.

Obviously, going 305 meant some cutting around the front inside guards and also some additional cutting to the new flares.

No Snowie, not a show car. It may as well have been the last couple of years given it hasn't been offroad but am looking forward to getting it out. Figure the orange won't show up as much as the grey when scratched.

Not for a while. Although I had this done for next to nothing, it was a drain on the monetary resources. I'll tinker with the tri trailer a bit over Christmas but nothing major.

I suppose down the track I might look at some gear changes but it's not a priority. I also need to speak to the boys at Ultimate as I'm a bit nose down at the moment but is probably more of a function of the weight being taken off the rear.

I'll also be swapping the rear lights out at some point... Maybe that's what the missus can get me for Christmas.

Thanks Valerio (sorry, only just seen this). You're not the first to mention KTM actually.

I think the combination works well. I was a little nervous at first and almost changed my mind to a bumble bee yellow like the Savana triton.

The missus doesn't like the attention it draws. :D

Those yellow/black and orange/black schemes look beastly!

Looking at something like that when the old girl's ready for a makeover.

Hiya Darren, it's just mounted to the left of the thin metal section that surrounds where the wheel remover winder thing goes in. It's a bit off centre but does what I needed it to do.
