Orange Rocket Rear End Location?

[mark1971]

I have an updated book from Rocket and in two different places it list lateral location for an Orange chassis. 17 1/4 inches and 16 1/2 inches are the two measurements with each one listing a difference for a wide Franklin. Which is the correct measurement considering I have a Winters Rear End?

What tube length rear do you have?

Honestly that measurement is just a recommended starting point. You will most likely find you will end up with it further left and shortening the rr tube anyway.

Not sure if this has any value, but just for reference ... my blue rocket with Franklin rear end is located exactly where the book says it should be (16 3/4" from right frame)
