Hello All,
I was thinking of moving the entire drive train appx 1 inch back but =
have changed my mine. I didn=E2=80=99t know the sanctioning bodies would =
not approve. Its not worth the hassle!

I did find out that the old TR Bits does sell upgraded front motor =
mounts. About $40 each. Has any one used them or something close to =
this? =20

Thxs. Steve
