I've looked threw the ones that I could find on here. Maybe there is a few I haven't seen. Or a little more info ab the bottom mount "pivoting". Is that something major bc some look like they don't have them. And is there a certain angle or spot they need to be mounted. It can't be that hard to do just wanna do it right and get 100% advantage outta the bags.

All I'll say is, if that isn't built and installed right, it will not work.

I tried to fabricate lower pivot mounts, not machine, and they were pretty good but it didn't work, bag would flop one way or the other, I would say there not needed but it would definitely help prolong the life of the bags, if you want pivots I'd have madmike or someone machine a set, if not don't over think it and just mount them, I wasted a lot of time messing with those pivots and ended up welding them so they don't pivot lol

Here is what I did works good. I had it just mounted as you can see by the big base. Rode like sh*t. Change to the way I have it now world of differents. I would not even try to put bags on any other way now.

The set up Mike built looks to me ( me not knowing much) would be the way to go .By letting the bag pivot looks like it would cycle more in a direct line thus making it much more efficient.JMO .And the stuff Mike builds is just rugged,bad ass stuff.

Has anyone really ran lower pivots a long time ??
I would think they just need to pivot a a few degrees.
Why do y'all think ??
Is the bag stiff enough to keep themselves straight ??
I've got 4 #3800's in a box waiting to find the time to install.
Or should I just mount them so they are straight at mid travel ??
Thanks

We've ran them seversl years now on a ac buggy and 1 year on a wc buggy. Had a lil problem with the wc one with the bag folding forward if I ran to low of air pressure. Made slots on the bottom mount to center the bag perfect and it works fine

Ac only has 3"over arms and the wc has 6"over. I think the extra travel plays a part in it

I have only installed bags on 2 buggies, but after talking to bag manufactures and trying a lower pivot, I have learned to install them as vertically as possible and forget the lower pivot. The lower pivot creates far more problems than it solves. I have used bags on 5x5 arms and stock arms, the only way I have found to make them work well is with solid lower and upper mounts.
Good Luck
