Id have Les or Leon make some spacers to shim the top of your shocks out a little bit to straighten them up B)
Oh yeah get some mothers out and start polishing that motor! :woohoo:

Those tabs for the chain guard are made to take the LTD chain guard, looks like you may have to do a little modifying to get all the clearance. It's not uncommon when going thru such a change to have to modify things so it shouldn't be a big deal.
I seen that motor in person, that man needs meds, it has to be A.D.D. or something! They look too good to use! WAY better than the pics.

omr's laser tool is a super cool tool to have for more than a few things.

but,
if your in a hurry and can't wait to buy one(or can't afford one)you can always use a string. :)

the term "straight as a string" is no bullsh!t.

this has been a public service message :lol: !
