Good job on the rear drop outs. How did you trim them down?

I cut them down with an angle grinder. took quite awhile actually. then I did some more work with my grinder and a flap disc. Redline built these things to survive a nuclear attack.

I still haven't trimmed mine yet. I'm having too much fun riding it! 
Pic from a ride we had a few weeks ago. Stole my daughters helmet to prop it up after it fell over and took out OSOG's TrickStar.

Well done, that looks great! Wish I would have thought of that when I did my Zippo / Master retro...
I thrashed your grail, and I loved every second of it.

Nice job, man! I did the exact same thing with my old FS880 only I used a dremel and a small cutting disc. Looked much better after.
And sweet looking ride! Makes me kinda miss mine.

I think it's the same stem I had on my Proline.
