    Modelb, don't despair. I've ridden in a bucket with the Fat Man split axle and it worked fine. I'm going to split mine next winter. But anchor the axles at the middle, not the frame ends, to minimize the camber change.

    You'll truly minimize the camber impact if you pivot them on the opposing frame rails vs the middle.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
