The tires should be the least of your troubles in the build Razz , does the V-twin engine's require a wider frame in the front? Or maybe it's just to make it easier access to the exhaust ports?
It's the sane with as the opposed, so it will still kinda hand off the frame rails. It's ok with me lol

Yeah that's just cool looking, so it won't interfere with the exhaust? (I'm tying to plan the frame before I get the engine, that's not easy). lol

I was looking at some 1" pipe or something real small and loud, duals, something kinda short. just some mid-chassis dumpouts at like a 15 degree onto the ground

Haha, never did actually. I dont need to, i know how it will look with the hood on top of it (just set it on top of it) and its the same width as my opposed, only 2" longer, or close to. that time will come soon.
