Some of those tips can be used for other types of builds as well. It annoys the crap outta me when someone's sissy bar isn't the same angle as the forks.

What is the most introductory way to get that foundational lateral line?

Drop the triple tree on the fork tubes (lower the front) and/or fit longer shocks (raise the rear) to get a line parallel to the ground. This is the simplest method, not necessary the best or cheapest.
