Has anybody ever trimmed the lobes on the steering stem to create a tighter turning radius?
Thanx, Drummer

Yes, take very little off at a time. It doesn't take much to make a big difference. Too much and your wheels will hit the arms

DRUMMER: Have you found that GPS to actually be useful? In what scenarios do you use it in?

Wondering the real practicality of the GPS thing in regard to riding. :confused:

In the middle of the dunes when it is pitch black and no landmarks it's a life saver, it's great for landmaking favorite spots to come back to and you can track a particular route and do it again a year later if you want.
Mostly piece of mind to know you can get back to where you started.
