Still have frame to frame contact before the shock reaches full travel, so i've been cutting this morning. What i found is the entire rack system interferes, so it's been pretty much eliminated. One thing i neglected to check was the height of the rack in relation to a spiderbox style swingarm--from what i'm seeing, those sit up much higher than what i have. also found a spot on one tube where the top of the carb (diaphragm cover) hit the first crossbar. So it's all gone! Have to make up some new rear mounts for the fuel tank.

Another short little test run clip vid. Opened up another ditch crossing. Really miss my rocky woods loop--i have to intentionally run into things for a little suspension action, though there's a set of ruts crossing the one side trail diagonally that gets really interesting when the front and rears track into different ones.
