Thanks Bennie, Thinking of getting one of SubaExtreme's latest skid plate - or a spare 'stop sign' - Will have to wait & see what comes up in the serach for one. As far as I can tell its mostly orignal exhuast, so when it does eventually go ( rust most likley ) I'll look at putting on a nice set of ...

Well its been a bit windy & lots of rain, where I am - most of the Gold coast has copped it with heaps of beach front washed out, trees down & power outages. There's still the after effects of flooding to come - Keep safe out there & wait till its all clear to venture out again ... :neutral: Cheers,...

Hi Zaplaje,

Yeah those wheels you have shown are not really suited to the Brumby, as the offset will be for the later L Series.
You could make them work by putting in a spacer & use smaller tyre ...

I would keep looking for a wheel that has better character ...

Ciao, Bantum ...
