how far below?!
mine were niitially fitted by cutting the arch round the bar, its looks a bit bleak IMHO. Much better bent as required, but not easy with 6mm bars.

thanks for the help guys and cracking pic leigh! just checked the arches and they're not looking wide enough i've got 205 R888'S
on and there's literally about 4mm either side of the tyre to the arch so i'll never manage to get the u-trim on for sva, looks like new
ones on the cards.

get dax ones!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
the standard mk ones fit much better if you take about 2/3 of the side flanges off. it makes them a lot more pleasing on the eye, and makes the u trim
less vertical, so gives less bulk across the width of the tyre.
