you need 8 and i drilled a 13mm hole. remove the gear lever and cut about 3" above the bit that plugs into the gearbox then add a 3" straight piece. dont use any smaller than 4mm plate it is easy |

silly question but... does it drive better with the thinner wheels? (rather than the original fatboy rims) _________________

Excellent, I'm in two minds as I love the wide wheels... but two tyres need replacing and sometimes the width of my wheels tend to dictate where it wishes to go... I have had serious thought about getting normal sized Vit wheels for mine. _________________
