Custom project, engine to tranny alignment
Help Please! I keep several bikes running but this is my first frame up HD custom. I have a "new" 99 evo engine a baker 6sp tranny and a softail daytech type frame with a 2" stretch/200mm wide . Inner primary bolts are hard to start due to slight tranny mount misalignment. My thought is to grind down the high side of the tranny mount so the tranny will sit square, bolts can finger tighten and all children will be happy. Appears to be ~ .030 high on one side from feeler guages. Does anyone see any problem with this approach? If I go too far I could always shim to align right. I know there should be no racking of the primary with everything torqued down.
Another issue if you please, I can not find out if I should use a 9/16" or 5/8" front master cyl for my single front disc, I am using a Wilwood caliper I think model 310. Is the difference in sensitivity or stopping ability. I lean toward the 5/8". This is my first post so thanks for taking time to reply.
