Looks pretty good...any close ups of the frame mods and stuff? From what I understand the exhaust port is to tall to fit under the down tube so you have to notch the frame or something for the motor to sit low enough?

the frame is notched and dimpled to get it low enough. i bought some tubing and plan to redo the lower cradle if i get any cracks.

could you explain how you dimbled the frame i am thinking of pulling this off... also how hard was it to do? i know you have to know how to weld and it takes time to fit all in there right.. but could you explain how hard you thought it was? and a picture of the dimbling

no pics of that. just heat the area with a torch, place a metal rod over the area, hit the rod with a heavy hammer. you have a dimple. it is alot of work. i have a whole thread of this on the .org website in the pics section.
