Where do you plan to put the rear bag mounts as that impacts answers? The front would use a standard 7" dbl convoluted bag. Firestones & Slams up front seem to be the 'go-to' choices.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

On the actual axle housing or on the link bars? On the actual housing would be better suited w/a tapered/rolling sleeve style bag; if locating them on the bars, dbl convoluted.

Don't rule out Dominators for the front bags

Re: need help with front a rear bags??

I will post pics when I get the frame home, won't be till the end of December. As the frame sits now it's all stock, I'm gathering the parts to get the frame set up to lay on the ground. I was thinking zed front frame but not Sure how tall to get the bags. Also not sure how tall to get the rear bags. The bags would be mounted on the housing.... Thanks for all the imputes an help guys!!!!
