Supporting mods include, but are not limited to: inner fenders, hood hinges, trans hump, trans crossmember, exhaust, shifter linkage, electric fans, battery relocation, etc. Lots I'm sure I've forgotten that has to change when moving the engine/trans/suspension dramatically from stock positioning. The mild/lvl 1 version would have been the optimal choice for lessening the burden of these additional requirements. I just can't seem to resist the urge to go lower--I blame this forum

Thanks for the insight. I did not realize the v7 lowered the rack and did away with the frame notches.

I did not either, at first. Helped sway my decision to go with the v7 over the mild. Doesn't seem well-publicized--I think it would be a big selling point for many, as it seems folks are turned off by the welding required with rack notches. I found the info on a random post on instagram and confirmed with Dave via email

Time for her quadrennially scheduled waxing

Muuuch better

Also been talking to Dave and Nate Porter again, and they've convinced (well, shamed really) me into going a little more 'extreme' with this round of mods...
