lol. I don't have a camera so I can't post up an image.

Come to Citiview with the Club on Sunday and see these mounts first hand and decide yourself if they are the bee's knees. ;)

We're meeting at Beaudesert McDonalds at 8am. Yarney's the trip leader, so if you are able to come along send him a PM.

I ended up sticking an M6 bolt through the guts of both mine. It is a bit rigid at idle but OK above there so far, painted them black for the rego inspection coming up real soon
