I have never seen that done before, in normal circumstances the top rail has to be cut out to allow the cylinder heads to fit in the space available. Same applies to the bottom loop. The frame may be cut on the other side. Either way it appears as though the engine will have to come out to get either head off. Fantastic work though, looks factory.There appears to be newer Featherbed frames being made Dave, saw some a few years back at Ace that had Suzuki fours in them like this one. (Attachment Link) Often with bigger diameter tubing too.
