Nice, glad to see someone here got that of the dragbike.com classified.

Are you gonna hotrod it? Or just street cruise it?

Bearing support for holeshots!

Just cruise and shows, you could get away with a regular offset.

I think that 5/8" is at the dividing line, where you need to strongly consider a bearing support. If you plan on racing, I say do it. Cheap insurance compared to splitting cases to deal with a bad output shaft bearing. Just my .02.
