I have not. I have, however, crawled up on the rear rack, and jounced with my body weight(320ish) and it touches the exhaust valve service cap if I really give it h*ll, I will be looking at that, once again .

I tried my darndest to come up with something for the head stay that doesn't look like an hack job made it, and came up with nothing. In the process, I did make something that looked decent for the upper case mount, and proceeded to make it fit. Along with boxing in and gusseting the lower mount, I put it all back together, and like it was stated above, I gave the rear a good smacking, and it revealed I still have a clearance issue with the head and the seat belt bar. I have been rolling around the idea of converting to 1/2" heims out back, and may look at longer shocks to compensate for the additional set back of the swing arm. I really don't want to chop the shock mounts out again, although it would be easier.
