All right i just got to give you the old joke then steve can move it.

Wife:- Give me twelve inches and hurt me

Husband sticks it in 4 times then hits her over the head with the piss-pot ( dont know if you yanks have an equivalent of that but its the common name for a "chamber-pot or guzzunder)

Thanks guys. I think i have the rear taken care of now, but now i have a new question. Are there any kits to put a 16 or 17 inch on the front ? did the early goldwings have a 17 inch front ?
