Default Mini Fat boy with a 19mm mount?

I am thinking about building a modded mini fat boy. But I want to put a "C" sized engine in it.

Could some of you geniuses out there figure out in roc sim / open roc / or a calculator... how much nose weight I would have to add for say a C65?

Thanks

when I did mine, I made the bodytube an inch longer (to keep room for the chute) and added 0.5 oz. of birdshot to the nose.

Never considered leaving room for the chute. Even though I will probably use a streamer with this one, it is still something to be considered.

So 1/2" longer with .5 oz in the nose. Ill try that. Thanks!
