Cheapo jobs they will just heat and bend one end which is bad, you want the whole thing heated and recurved if you go down that path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy with the rears as they are atm, there's about 20mm clearance on the inside still... Outside just scrubs as I haven't rolled the guards yet. I have no paint left on the underside of my front bar though..I practically swapped a set of disgusting 19" dinner plate chromies for these at a local wheel/tyre shop. They were just sitting out the back lol. Found a bargain :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
