Good point DaveH.

The diff shimming issue is ridiculous.

I'm going to try that with the front body mounts when I get some more (as they're now predictably out of stock with the UK distributer).

My only concern is that they have quite a severe chamfer at the bottom behind the plastic pin, so drilling a hole through there wont leave much material for a screw to go through?

I tried simply drilling through the existing hole and putting a longer screw in, which helped a lot.

Another minor mod is to remove the mount hole in the chassis for 125cc. Obviously the chassis' were already machined when they remoulded the 150cc tank, and I cant see anyone in the world using a 125cc tank in their XT8.

Some put the 125ml tank on for the qualifiers.
