I think the main issue is the pivot point from the shield to the drives fork. Besides that the shield can be 10 times bigger and still wouldn’t matter. Just because the shield is bigger you (maybe) can move it up and down in the old cutout and may be a way to raise the X but it won’t be much. I’m gonna have to pull out a 290 and a 270 shield and see how they match up later. I do know the 290 is the biggest shield I have ever dealt with. If the original hole was cut out right you can fill a OMC drives hole with it.
A winner is just a loser that got up and did it one more time.
