But I realize they did it with a huge front wheel and a tank-lift

I just like the sloping angle of the bike... the Lo is more parallel to the deck

There was a forum member that did a garage-build that is exactly what I am picturing... trying to find it
Don't have a tank lift kit on mine, but I kicked the front end out a little using this:

The hardest part is the one bolt that is in the front blocked by the floorboard.. the primary cover has 2 different kinds of bolts, long and short, and that one happens to be "long".. gotta loosen the floorboard in order to tilt it to get the bolt out.. other than that, drain the primary, remove the bolts, buy a new gasket, put it back on..its very simple.



and that's what it looks like on the inside.
