thanks for the comments guys. we are putting in a fuel cell back bone so no worries on factory tank fitment.
as for the process we used, we cut out the back bone, welded in a few temporary plates to hold everything from distorting, made some relief cuts to avoid kinking the tubes, then heated it up, and slowly tighten the nut to bring it back to our desired angle.
the set up is nice because you have full control of the angle forward or back. The front block is set at wheel height exactly and we have a rod on bearings through the swingarm holes so everything just sorta "slid" back on the bearings and kept the same height.
the bike is still perfectly true, no twist or bending anywhere.

looks like a real easy way to keep everthing square.i was wondering if you ever got that bike together. hadn't heard anything from you in a long time. have you got a ride together for this season. or are you just waiting until this one is done.
