Clearance isn't a problem if you lower the rear fender brace by an inch or two. I'm going to see what I like best, using the stock Eldo triples or using the T3 triples. Not sure if the T3 triples have a different angle on them or not.

Hi Paul,
If you are keeping the alternator how are you getting around the clearance problem with the front wheel? Different triple tree maybe?

Ahh the joys of building a custom bike. :)
