Thanks, Schwany! Those pics are more useful than you might realize. I knew there was a need for a spacer underneath the engine, and of course the ones in front we talked about earlier, but I did not realize that effectively the entire left rear engine mounting plate has to be moved over to the left by almost 1/4" it looks like. Now seeing it, a lot of other things make perfect sense, like for example how the trans is supposed to line up once the primary case is installed. Thankfully I can make all those little spacers pretty easily on the lathe, I just need to figure out how thick they need to be.

Happily this will also alleviate some of the final drive sprocket line-up issues that are looming on my horizon! Excellent.

I've looked at those footpeg assemblies several times over the past few years. I just can't bring myself to buy them when I know that I will probably want to modify them anyway. I am sure I can fabricate my own.
