hi, after throwing away the idea for the revese gear its time to finalise the position for my enging its a cbr1000f lump. my main concern is the old prop shaft angles i have read and studied many of the previous posts on this and it seams to me to get things "right" i need to get the 2 mating flanges parralel however in my build that will prove extremely difficult becase the clutch clearence issues as the prop will fol the slave cylinder however if i turn the engine to run parralel with the top rail i can get eveything in just with roughly 5deg angle on each joint (prop is working back from the engine uj joint slider uj joint center bearing uj joint diff hope that makes sence) will i get away with this

Should be fine in reality Watch the clearance for the exhaust manifold on the top rail if the engine's a tall one though.
