    That looks like a tricky one to do, nice job.

    Thanks v8nutz. I just hope my engineering is what it should be. it seems like this could be done in few hours or so, but it took me at 4 days to get it all figured out. Measure cut remeasure cut a touch more. Had the other side cut out in less than an hour with a better fit.

    Since that center X is there to prevent twist of the main rails I believe it's plenty stout, Navy. If anyone wants to look, show them the second side as your example!!

    well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better.
    I cut a 3/16" wall tube in half giving me and extra 1" clearance on the bottom end.

    Finished the Passenger side of frame. Came out a bit cleaner looking, nothing beats experience. Maybe trial and error.
