Both of mine are real close to two inches with the stock drain plug and pan .. I could go lower with your drain plug ...But remember i'm 150 pounds sooooo you may need a bit more wiggle room ....

Mine is fixing to be 2", and that's with the Adam's 1.5" flat pan. Getting my forks lowered internally 2.5", and gonna lower my front fender closer to the tire. You know its low when you're 5'6" and your knees bend when you sit on it. Almost feels like I'm sitting on a Pro Stocker.

Hey Lee, we gotta hook up one day so you can make some passes on it.

These are from the last AMA Dragbike race in Atlanta, and some random pics from back home, just to get an idea of the clearance I have....

Great bike and pictures NinjaBoy!
Do you have a stock pan on that, and do you ever scrap it or the exhaust?

Dubious is correct, I have the 1.5" Adams Performance billet oil pan, which never scrapes. My sidewinder sometimes slightly scrapes whenever I make the U-turn at the end of the drag strip, just gotta take the turn slowly. My bike is race only, that's why I have it set up so low.
