The only clearance issue is the rear fender support. If you just move it
down or up (don't remember which way) an inch or so it will be fine. or I
could just leave it off and I shouldn't have a problem. As for using a

"hacking" up the frame to make things fit either.

I'd like to hear more about personal experiences with the Total Seal "Gapless" rings. Can't imagine they could cost much more than OEM Guzzi items. Are the OEM items cast iron?
