no problem,except for big bumps!:whistle:

A guy showed up at Sparta drag strip one Sunday. During burnout managed to rip oil filter out of underneath of bike. Obvious ground clearance issue even with a sidewinder. Probably put full air pressure to back tire going thru tech and then let down for race. A lot of pissed of people at him for foolishly oiling down track for a dumbass reason.

What did you change to cause the clearance issue?

I bet he forgot about the dip in the pad for the puddle, one tire goes in, and the bike bottoms out....

I used lowering tubes in the front and put on my new wheel that is a lot smaller diameter. i also have lowered the rear two inches but will go another 2 or three by the time I'm done. The rules are you need 2 inches of clearence to be legal at the track.
