Well, to give credit where it is due, someone else (Troy, maybe ?) on the
list mentioned the clearance issue when I initially posted (2-3 weeks ago)
about the improvement those adjustments made.  I had not realized that it
could be a problem, but fortunately had left plenty of room.

I'm wondering if the position of the shifter and rear brake are set at
the factory or by the dealer when the bike is setup...
