Just make sure you measure from the existing holes in the perches! I had a brain fart one day and measured from the edge of the perch, only to then find one perch was longer than the other after I had drilled the holes

Re: moving my front axle foward
This may sound stupid but I'm just wondering, why would you need to move it forward. I can't think of a reason. Lol

It gives you more clearance from the bulkhead for bigger tyres and a better approach angle.
