Oh man, I forgot about those big tires Lehman supplied! I was never happy with those huge tires Lehman put on their kits. I know they look good, but they are sure a PITA! I alway figured if you had a flat with one of those, the thing to do was either load it up or ride it somewhere they had a lift because your never going to be able to change the tire along side of the road. Something else nobody thinks about but those huge tires have a super small loading per square inch of surface. What's the problem, ya say? Add in a little rain and any puddles on the road will give a whole new meaning to the pucker factor! I found this out personally and I was riding a Hannigan/Honda with normal size tires. Hit a big puddle on 13 south out of Clinton MO at about 60mph and had the backend nearly come all the way around because of hydroplaning! (Yeah, I know - slow down) There isn't enough load on these tires to maintain much grip in the rain or on wet roads.
Sorry, I got a little off topic. Don't forget to check that upper mount. Keep us informed how things are working out.
