Vibration is minimal … and yes, it clears the tank. Thought those of you wanting to do similar may be interested in the results.

Also rebuilt the carburetor, and after setting the idle and mixture this little 883 runs great. I bought a new K&N filter that I will leave uncovered as shown. Didn’t like the galvanized finish, so I painted it silver.

Now I need to address the long cables, front brake line and excess wiring.
