thanks dude - from what i can tell it is not as big an issue as i had thought it would be - those dimensions should fit perfectly with the rack, its going to be 41"x55" i will build a lower "rail" that goes from hole to hole, then the rack sits on it.

plan is to have a wind fairing, four lights fromt and two rear.

its more work than i thought it would be !(cut, weld, grind, weld, grind, weld, grind, repeat)
