Having said that, even without worrying about the notch the absolute longest I can get with the bars right out by the wheel and the centers clear of the driveshaft is 24" long on the bottom. i dont know if that's long enough or not.
Maybe that parallel 4 is the wiser choice after all? I just want something with a decent ride and predictable handling; Im not building a race car but on the other hand i dont want to throw so mething together.

Is the notch built already?

If not why not look into a slightly different notch design? As Twisted mentioned, it can be much easier to design the notch and or back-half to accomodate the link set-up one intends to use.
