    with the collecter under the frame i had maybe 2 inches maybe 2 and 1/2 inches. you may wanna go little higher tho. Three and a half to 4 inches under the exhaust pipes would be good. All depends if ya like the look of it.

    I'll vote for at least 4"(you know what they say about opinions though). You built the frame off the bike? When (and if) I get to that point, was planning on blocking up my bike, doing cutting and welding on the bike. Have you got any pics yet (I hope)???
