Ash and Bob i would also fit some sealed greased bearings with that much camber as like most fluids the gear oil WON'T run up hill to the outer axle
bearings and they will be noisy / siezed in no time !!

Rubbish.... I've been running my bug that low for 15 years and have never had a bearing problem....
Top stuff Bob..... Ash is stylin' now!..... Not that she wasn't before!

yeah looking awesome, I kinda like the all whites, maybe paint the outers and leave the inners white, or whatever!
And, just out of interest, who fitted your whitewalls(?), mine need re-doing on the front of the 59, or I might get a new set for the 59 and put the
older, dirtier ones on the 55!

Bridgestone in Wynnum did them for me, and they did a really good job!:thumb
I'm really really happy with how she is looking. She actually rides pretty smooth for being so slammed.
Thanks for your comments guys, especially Humpty! You're a man of much knowledge when it comes to all things air cooled and LOW! She is our little
work in progress with still some tinkering to do. We will keep the pics coming as we "bling" her up some more!
