installing a 12 bar
Please give me some hints and tips as how to install a 12 bar correctly. I heard there it a measurement you take off of your back tire to get it alighned properly.
Also is there a clean way to install the 12 bar without completely ****ing up the rear plastics?
I am thinking of purchasing this 12 bar. Please look at it for me and give me the pros and cons. Thanks

Re: installing a 12 bar
Looks like an Fi bar, they are simple to install. Clamp it on the subframe, make sure both sides are aligned and drill, thats about it. Flip your bike up to make sure it hits flush.
As for the plastics, you can measure and cut, but c'mon, they are gonna get fkced regardless!!!

what he said. if you are really concerned, what i did was i did a lil google-in' and found a page that had step by step and pic instructions, jsut to be sure i wasnt gonna make any newbie mistakes, but it is realy self explanitory.
also, what i did when i was making sure it was adjusted right, was my buddy and i picked the bike up to 12 o'clock and made sure it would park on the 12, it did, and looked staraight as hell. it also helped to make sure i would scrape at 12 and not like 1, lol.
good luck
