Cause a volksrod without one would look shit.

Ohh... You mean for a Volksrod.... Sorry.... I didn't realise that......I know a guy here in Perth that has two complete kits for sale.... I think they are the better engineered one of the two designs.... Not sure what he wants for them....

the top extender looks really nice, would be better chromed or powder coated, the bottom set is a little heath robbinson but i guess it does the job!

theres a fire in the hold and plans are afoot for a rat/barn ride!!

is it posable to get them made 2" forward and link pin to ball joint

would make my job a lot easier
