Hi all,
I'm worried that if I hit a big bump with my Eldo that the handlebar
struts will slam into the top of the gas tank. The tank that came on
this Eldo had the dents ontop, but the PO's son had been popping
wheelies with it, too.
I have seen other Ambo/Eldo gas tanks with these dents ontop, also.
If I preload the fork springs with pvc spacers, will the fork
tubes/springs bottom out before the handlebars come in contact with the
top of the gas tank??
Can I change the risers??? Unlikely as they come out from the
rear/bottom of the dash..huh?
It would just kill me if I dented this newly painted, beautiful gas
tank!!!!!
Thanks......
