Correct. You can notch the OE 67-72 (73-87 HD/C20/C30) uppers to clear a 1.5" notch (barely).
Tubulars won't work because the bushing barrel is usually the culprit. I even purchased a set of the MMW brand 'Dodger' uppers to see if they might clear on a 1.5" notch & the bushing barrel was the point of interference. At a 2" notch w/tubular arms, you'll likely need to add multiple u-joints & a support bearing to the steering linkage or try an aftermarket/swapped R&P set-up.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
