The RYCA conversion does have a bit of a lumpier bottom that the stock bike - but even the stock one is lumpy underneath. The bottom of the engine sticks down just a bit lower than the frame, and the exhaust header does also. Whenever I would jack up my stock bike it would lean no matter where I placed the jack - and I had a couple of wood shims I placed under the frame to level it out. (I have the Yellow Craftsman lift).
