Looks like a good start, what are you doing for front bag mounts?

Thanks. Were going to do a custom cantilever setup. Thats the only way that its going to work because when its laid out theres no room by the frame. It should be pretty cool Im gonna start getting measurements to get pieces laser cut on monday.

Right on, Should be sweet when it's all done. I've seen set up's on the radius arms but never a cantilever.

Yeah if for some reason the cantilever doesnt work out thats what were gonna have to do. But I think the cantilever should work just fine just more work.

Possibly, were going to make custom motor mounts so we'll see. But modifying the pan isnt a big deal if we have to. But I dont know till we start setting the motor in it hahah
