if i go the engine move way, i'd be moving the top cross bar so the carb interferences wouldn't be an issue. Your definitely on the money about the chain/case and it would limit future sprocket choices. Moving the bearing hangars looks like a nightmare because of the way they're welded up.
I just got rid of the shock mounts and put a gusset/plate and new mount on the swingarm. I'll be doing the frame chop and can deal with the exhaust by reworking the way the pipe turns coming off the engine.
Does anyone recognize the muffler in the pic in my previous post?
got it with carter 150, but i think it's for a 250. much larger pipe at the connection than the headpipe. it was cobbled onto it with muffler wrap and a pipe clamp but was still really loose. I have a steel sleeve that reduces it to fit the headpipe much better.
