Holy insult on injury! That sucks to be fired after dealing with an ACL; painful all around.

Nice work. Are the side boxes removeable?

Good work. Hopefully maybe some members will want some custom made. Are those modified tool boxes? How does the bike handle with them full, say 30 pounds total?

the boxes are amo dry boxes i didnt really notice any thing when i rode it other than the shock i didnt the r1 shock mod i think its a little soft but the boxes are ok there not high dollar boxes form like happy trails.i started out with the tote ever one was useing but it had to much drag or i would load it to much haha but the amo dry boxes are better i think just i little less room mabe try some real amo cans pain them up nice.mabe if some one would just like the mount they could put there owen boxes on just had some ideas thanks
