Just fatigued due to trimming too much off the "rain gutter". I would rather buy a spacer of some sort, or just get bigger wheels.

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.
