They can't move the engine forward because of wheel contact with the cylinder at full deflection, and the can't rotate the engine ccw (viewed from the right side)because that'd require raising the engine in the frame. A classic catch-22 situation. I think the Duc boys are kinda backed into a corner with the 90 degree V angle because it doesn’t put enough weight on the front wheel.
