88pathoffroad Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I don't think you have to move anything...a gas can will fit on the right, won't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I think it was Skinny Pedal who installed one without moving the tire.. but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfisch1191 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I measured the can and it will cover the right turn/break light (cops wont like that) or if I put it on the left of the tire it will cover the latch. Besides it wont be to hard to customize it just time consuming and when I am done I can exaggerate and say “yea I made that”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockefe11er Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) I modified my rear tire carrier with for a couple of reasons. First of all I got sick of my rear tire dragging when I climb very steep inclines and second to clear room for a double gas/water can set up next to it. The picture shows what it looks like after the fact but I basically cut out the original mounting plate, took off the piece that the tire mounts to (the bolted on piece) and welded it all the way on the top one gap over from the stock location. Its not too noticable of a mod but I haven't dragged my spare for awhile and as soon as I save up the 30 bucks for a couple of gas cans from the local military surplus shop I'll have them mounted.

Spolar93 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 welded the bolt on piece up and to the right, then welded brackets for a hi lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
