GH, most serious type people will notice the two inta's immediately think, this guy is into performance. S&S air cleaners being a secondary clue.

Performance, But only in a straight line. The BT's simply don't have enough clearance on the left side to get it around corners at speed. There's not enough weight on the front end to start with so lifting the frame/engine is just going to make the whole plot worse.

I think a lot of people don't realise that's how "Choppers" started. Longer front ends to try and get some ground clearance. People then just got stupid by imitating what they saw but trying to outdo each other.
