Yes. I now understand that it is a stock dimension frame with fat tubes. Not a frame with 1 1/4 inch of stretch in the tubes and 1 1/2 stretch in the backbone. I was just curious as the tank fit will then be different as to how it sits if it was a stretched frame then also changing the length of the front end

Sorry misfit, I didn't realize that 0 stretch had more than one meaning,don't know as much about frames.
