I'm about to do the same... How did you make sure it was straight? Was it just relying on accurate cuts by original exhaust mounts?

So im going to be making a review video but unfortunately probably after you do it already, so best tip i got is go by the instructions but take into cosideration that they are not all flawlessly identical and the instructions are more of a guideline so you may have to cut alittle more or do some minor filling welds over the plugs to get things to aline perfectly, for being straight just measure untill you drive yourself crazy! Using the axel plates is a good point to measure from up to anywhere on the original frame and only tac weld the frame when you think you have it where you need it and measure some more and finish the welds off when its perfect! Hope that helps good luck 👊

We didn't leave the engine in on mine, and we definitely should've, or at least tacked cross bars on the frame. We were able to make the hard tail fit, but it took 4 full grown men to "convince" it.

I found Waldo!!

What did you size bar stock did you use for the seat post insert? I don’t think my hard tail came with that bar stock. It’s been a couple years since I ordered it though so I may have just lost it
