(i admit i dont know much about fiberglass)
Yup, that's still FRP, they just use a different durometer resin (think of plastic skateboard wheels with different durometers (hardness). The flexible resin (combined with proper application and weave direction of the glass) will allow for a LOT more flex than the standard Home Depot bought Fibreglass kits.

It's a close battle, but i dunno. If it's 25 mm, it will have to be ordered from Japan, so give me a couple of days to think about it.

Hey guys do we need to re-think this?...if there's only 5mm difference, that's only what....about 3/16ths inch?....should we go for 30mm instead?....just throwing this out there.

**** it, I say 45mm! Go big or go home!




































JK..... halfway. I could put 45's to use...

Would match those of us who have 50mm rears better, too....

30mm will be easier on shine which means a faster turnaround. Take a look at a ruller and see if 3/16ths of an inch or 5mm is worth the hassle

if 30 is easier thats cool.

ken i though you had a shipment comming over anyway, so it wanst going to a be an issue.

i just realized that the forsight fenders are 30mm too

the BIG! BIG! thing I love about the forsight fenders tho is, they made the fender arch 15mm lower so that **** looks even more slammed..food for thought

by all means, do 30mm!! if its easier, and gives more clearance than why not! do you guys really want to make it take longer or possibly cost more to just to have 5mm less clearance?
