Thanks for your thoughts guys.  I talked with the guys I got the forwards from, and they said they had not heard of any clearance issues.   I got the controls bolted up this weekend, and I am very happy.  I did not purchase the $50 linkage kit that they had advertised, although, in retrospect, I should have considered it.  I spent at least an hour driving around to different hardware stores to find the ball joints/all thread/reinforcer tubing....and have all of it match in diameter and thread type.  What a huge pain, and after all is said and done, spent about $60.  I did go up to the 3/8' thread/tube diameter, vs the 5/16 they recommended.  It is nice and stuff, and looks a little beefier too.  

Now if this !@#$ snow would melt, I could ride!  (Chicago area)

Thanks agian!
