Everything I have read about it says to cut it as smooth as possible, meaning to not have a cut that has a 90 degree turn. Instead have a curving cut. And also weld the cut to strengthen the metal from tearing. |

Drill a hole and cut to the hole. You will only need to notch your plates if you go 3 splines. Be prepared to strip drums. Hopefully Mike60 will chime in. He rolls on bags and has done this before. |

I cut mine to clear with no problems. Cut it with a cut off wheel. No welding |

I am going 2 notches. I was going to program it in mastercam and cut it on my CNC. If you say it's only for 3 notches I will wait and see if it rides ok. If not I will pull them off again and mill them out later. Thanks for the info guys. |

Let me see how it rides with 2 notches and no cut out. If I don't like it I will get the drop plates with one notch turn. I had a slammed 63 back in the day. Can't remember how many notches it was lowered. I think it was 2 and when I had friends or fat chicks riding it would hit the spring plates. |
