Im thinking of making my own "stunt stay" except it wont actually mount fairings.

Necessary features:
- bolt up to the stock frame holes
- points to mount a streetfighter light, 5-6" in front of the forks
- integrated gixxer damper mount
- points to mount brake reseviors
- a padded horizontal bar to keep my legs off all the other ****

bump

so i dont forget about this. i want to start designing it this afternoon

1 and 3 are easy since I already have those specs. If I were to extend my damper brackets out 6" and then have a vertical piece connecting them, I could easily make a headlight mount on that. Oooh I think I could make that adjustable too, hmm.

The leg bar and res mounting will be the issue
