Re the spindle upgrade:
the late model spindle with the 2 flat spots is used with the late model engine cradle, which has to dual wedge bolt fixing mechanism, so you need the proper cradle to use that spindle.
If you use the engine cradle with the single bolt swingarm tube, you can do the kegler clamp modification to bring it up to late model performance specs. You can buy the clamps from NYC norton already to go. (I made my own some years ago and it cured my bike's snake like handling. I think it's a must-do for bikes with the early single bolt swingarm tube.
I am considering the upgrade. Hence the dual wedge spindle.

Thanks for the response. Yes I was thinking I could use the dual wedge axle with the dual clamp upgrade. Now, I also want to do the oil filter upgrade. And the oil filter gets located somewhere down in that area. I want to be sure I leave room for the oil filter upgrade.
