I will also allow me to ride lower(visually according to the body) without scraping the frame. I could probably shave a little out of my body bushings too, I might do that with the stock bushings and see what happens. I planned on replacing them anyway so a little experiment can't hurt.
I get it (kind of). But just like you mentioned, there's that pinch weld. Keeping up w/the Jones'.....

I do agree that once you shave the bottom of the rail you'll gain some clearance for sure. I love the effort & all you've done so my bet is you'll nail it.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
