I have a few questions about the Bostig conversion. Mostly because I'm curious and not trying to discount the conversion. It looks like a nice clean modern set up. And depending on what happens with E85 over the next few years, that feature might be a real asset. I'm so tired of robbing convenience store to pay for gasoline these days, but I am glad I'm able to help the Bush family.

To the Bostig:

The literature says it has better than stock ground clearance. In photos on the website it looks like it dips a little lower. This may be because the configuration of the waterboxer muffler in the stock set up creates certain optical "allusions" that break of the site line. So is the ground clearance truly better?

2. With their shorter oil pan does the engine hold less oil? If so what is the downside?

3. It looks like to check the oil on the Bostig conversion you have to open the engine compartment hatch. True or False?

Best, Jeff 83.5 Westy LA, CA
