Wow Les, glad to hear things are picking up for you. Will continue to check for it. I know it should take long from IN to MN. Sorry to bother you, but anxious to see 'em!

It's designed for the sidewinder with these rearsets, If you were to order rearsets, just request the sidewinder pedal option.
That easy

Re: Which one do you prefer?

Les,
First off, let me comment that the pieces look great. Appear to be well made (no suprise there!) Now I won't get to fit them until this weekend, but a couple of observations:
1. The machine marks in the pockets, could those be reduced? I am thinking about personally, that I will polish mine out to go with the rest of the aluminum goodies.
2. I was thinking about the guys like myself that are running the 5/8" offset or greater front sprocket, could you adjust the spacer and bracket hole diameter and provide two SS cap head bolts that would thread into the frame bosses instead of the factory studs which would get rid of the need for the nuts on the back side. This would provide a nice appearance and more clearance. You could get rid of the front serrated nuts.
These are the first observations.

I have bolts instead of studs on mine but I had to tap the frame a different thread pitch, can't find readily available bolts to do it. On the pockets, allready changed the speed and feeds in the program to get better finishes. The bottom of the pocket is what I didn't like and an over the counter mill didn't give me the finish I liked either, having some endmills ground to do what I want.
Keep me up to date, this is what I'm wanting!
