Just e-mailed them about that... Again

They would have to chain the angle of the tubes coming from the front pivot to the carrier

As long as they are aligning the front and rear sprockets, and assuming stock sized parts for the carrier and axle, there are only one reason the guide would have to be moved outward 1/2": If that left tube coming from the pivot point was moved right 1/2" at the point where the guide is, and only in relation to the rear carrier tube.

So, I guess the best measurement would be, rear carrier tube edge(part that clamps the carrier) to outside edge of guide mount. If that number is different on TheSmith's bike, then the swingarm wouldn't work with the rest of his parts either.

I will have to pull a measurement there and see, maybe Smith can do the same

Oops that was inside, 1-15/16" to outside

The picture I attached has perspective issues, but those seem like your numbers so far Troy? Sorry for terrible paint editing.

So, we got almost exactly 2 inches from both the edge of the swingarm at the point of the guide, and the edge of the carrier clamp tube? And a very similar number matching the inside numbers(off by 1/8 is probably measurement error).

Having this same exact picture from multiple different people, with the measurements filled in(including to the sprocket from that carrier clamp lip part of the swingarm) would go really far in showing if LSR screwed up or not.
