and here's how it is now with the new wheels on:





135s on the front are rubbing, so I'm getting 145s on tomorrow.

I actually found them very friendly and helpful.. but I'm guessing you're not talking about Japan, right?

got the Smarts on now and popped out for a few more pics. Very happy with them.. about an inch clearance from tyre to guard. 8)

All ready for lots of cruising...

Yeah, Mooneyes Japan rules.
Shige-san is the man.
You should bring the bug there, and eat at the Mooneyes cafe..and cruise with the locals...you would be stoked.
