From: "Bob J." Hi Michael, when I get a moment I will take some pics...just bugs me to see that people are putting blisters on stock installations while I was able to get the wheelpants to cover 380x150x5 tires and double-puck Grove brakes, and have room to spare...through just a small bit of outside-of-the-box thinking. It would be easy-peasy to do with the RV8 gear. Regards, Bob Japundza RV-6 flying F1 under const. On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 3:03 PM, wrote: > Hey Bob, > > How about a picture of your wheel pants.
