Dale, I was wondering about the clearance (or lack thereof) for a portacatena on my ride. Curious still; does the longer axle mean increasing OLN distance, and spreading the rear traingle a bit? I am curious to hearing from anyone stories on the trials and tribulations they had trying to fit one on. Thanks!
