The u-bolts wouldn't sit vertically because the link brackets interfered with them. They were tight but they looked goofy

The shock mounts had to go to create clearance for link brackets and I didn't bother to put new ones on (which was fine for trail riding and sucked on the roads to and from trails)

The exhaust needs to be redone to clear the truss/links in the rear and I had to weld the mufflers back onto the rusty/craptacular exhaust that I have to run on this trip





I did fix the clutch linkage (it used to fall out fairly often) and add the rear fender skins.

The clutch linkage didn't fall out, the axle tubes didn't spin, and really nothing went wrong on this trip so I can't complain :pimp:
