Why do you need the length of the neck on the frame. check out perse performance website, they have a great rake and trail calculator, you need to be worrying about that, what your rake and trail is going to end up if it's not right, it will at best case be horrible, worse case be a death trap. If your front end doesnt work out, holler at me, and I will save you some money
