Default RE: NEED HELP !!

I work on a guys shovel that he's got in a softail frame and his is a straight bolt in. The only problem I have with his, is that he's running a primary belt drive andto be able to adjust the belt I have to drop the shocks (so I can get at the transmission adjusting nuts). You may have to fool around with the top motor mount but everything else should drop in.
