clueless: Greg can't just "slide the bogie back" because if he did the rear-rear centered pumpkin would slam up against the fuel tank skid plate whenever the rear suspension flexed. As built at the factory, there is a small semi-circular relief cut out of the angled front edge of the fuel tank skid plate to allow the rear-rear pumpkin to move up and down without hitting it. The fuel tank and its skid plate are nicely integrated with the rear frame and rear bogie so it all fits together tightly yet works.
