the story so far!!

heres where I've got to so far, there's a Triumph Bonneville disc front end going on with a matching borrani 16x3.5 rim

Any particular reason why you've mounted the gearbox tilted like that?

I hate to ask, but are you sure that mag has the right firing order? Many Fairbanks were adapted without changing the point cam, with the thought "3 degrees is no big deal".
What is the exhaust pipe OD?

Panic, the poiunt cam has been redone to Hunt's Indian spec

the exhaust OD is 1.5" ID is 1.25", they are temporary pipes nicked from my 741B basket, I plan to use 2" OD stainless - once I find out the correct tuned length for my engine?

gearbox isnt fitted yet, it needs the bottom and top mounts narrowed to allow it to sit down between the rear frame rails and engine plates.

Ok, have to deal with the same problem myself. Using a Triumph box on my WL & was thinkin of widening the frame mount, but narrowing the trans mount might work to... Wonder how much it's safe to remove?

i've got to take .25" either side out but the lug seems pretty solid, reckon you could take more than that safely.

how narrow do you need to go?

I think the bottom trans mount was around 90mm, & the frame mount was around 65mm. So I guess 1" or something like that, might be too much...? Would be nice not haveing to mess with the frame though...

i think you could safely remove 1" if it was done with a slight radius near the box itself

Yeah, if it worked it would be great! Guess I'll take off a little piece at a time & see how it looks...
