Nice :mrgreen: That should be fine.......until you mount up a DIO!!! :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:
Really tho, this looks like a nice and simple stretch-stock-spree mount. Although not everyone has a welder or skills of that nature but one could be found. Thanks for the motivation!!! :thumbwink:
You may have to find a different rear fender :lol:

The dio motor would likely pop my welds lol, i have 1 or 2 more bars to add for less flex( if any). Another 1/2 thich for the side with more room and 1/4 inch for the opposing side with the tiny stub on the motor side of the mount. I have a friend who is going to tig what i mock up when that time comes for the dio. Im realy hoping to use my panels, worst case i will heat a razor and trim the bottom to fit. I have to cut the license plate mounts to clear room for the tire. I have some more stuff planned!

Made the mount a little safer by adding some metal as support. I will buy another piece for the left and right sides for more flex proofing. Got it straight enough.
