Just a thought after looking at ya pic, If you put a pipe from the end of the muffler pointing slightly rearward and towards the ground, by keeping the throttle at full it will (according to Einstien) create an equal and opposite reaction, this will surley assist in keeping the front wheel planted firmly

Also should you choose to undersling another box beneath the rear most one the hot exhaust gases wont burn a hole in it

ok its all done.

all packed away nicely,
i had a piece of no shatter perspex, left over from my rally car...
so mounted to pack rack, and every thing is bolted to this.

tubes in bags under packrack,
tools on left side, brought a new container,and made a canvas bag.
pump on the right side, made up a canvas bag for that.
doctors box on the back,
fire ext,
and drinky bottle, for when i get lost in the desert.

looks good Joe, I'm glad (and you will be...) that you lost a bit of the weight and everything looks well tucked in.

thanks for your thoughts.
i had an old large toyota tool bag.
so i choped it up and made to smaller bags.
first aid is easy to get to now.just in case.
i had a 1kg fire ext, bottle but to big. that one was $28 from foresty shop.
might need it one day, hope not...
