Considering the number of posts you've been doing the last days in numerous threads asking for upper fork covers and fork boots this seems to be an obsession of your's

Demon Cycles made those fenders. I measured mine to be closer to 13 1/4". Guess I shall order the 13 1/4 to try out.

Got a whopping 680ish miles on my new 2016 BO before a nail landed in my rear tire. Got a Metzeler 260 put on yesterday.

How do u like her so far? You'll notice quite an improvement in handling with the new rear tire.

Now you only need to get rid of that reflector to clean up the rear and lower her by 1"" to avoid cats hiding under the rear fender

Definitely noticed the improved handling on the ride home, she seemed to respond quicker to my input but I'm not sure if that's a placebo affect or real world. Can you lower 1 inch without getting one of those air suspension systems?

That 260 went on there without any mods? I hate you, lol
