The reason they make frame jigs?

Frame go "boing" when you made last cut?

I've done a couple on hondas, so keep that in mind but... Your worrying to much, it doesnt have to center in the crotch of the Y. Undo the 2 lower bolts with just the swinger bolt in place loose, Then take the case & just raise it up & down & make sure it fits smoothly in between the other to mounting points. As long as it will pivot into the other 2 mounts smoothly your ok. I'll bet the factory steel frame bike doesnt center the pipe perfect. Sprocket alignment is the key

Verified frame is straight. Found the culprit, bad drill on the swing arm thru cases! All squared up and O.K. Amazing how small difference in the angle made a huge difference in the front!

Waiting on rails from JFAB. Its been almost a month , hope all is well.

Thanks for all the support. Full pics on build soon!
