Great approach! One thing to check is make sure you chain doesn't run into your underbrace, Been there. :P

got my carbs today. May not have great progress on it this week, i have 3 customer bikes to get ready for riding season. That only means more money for cool parts.

ALSO i'm on a speedholes kick. Doing this to my wheels with a 3/16 bit then stepping it out for a nice beveled edge

Don't worry about the structural integrity of the wheels. I contacted machesni,BBS, enkei and some machinists.

It's perfectly sound and safe. Hole spacing will be about an inch as to avoid perpetuating cracks.

it will definitely set it apart, more so.
