Why not just drive properly so you dont having to keep over correcting mistakes to the extent that you run out of steering lock?

You'd need more than just tie rods to do this

We did that for the last one. I (at 6ft2) had to sit in the back of a GT4 Celica the whole way up..... Wasn't the most comfortable journey.... Haha

Sounds like when I figured it was a good idea to circumnavigate the North Island on my 250. Any ride over 30 mins kills the legs and back as it was too small for me so I was hobbling by the time I got back to Auckland. Would like to do the South Island but on a 600 for the leg room
