Where are you guys mounting them? up high, close to the motor, etc? I cant look at pictures at this point in time but could you guys either give me descriptions, or could someone send some pictures to me email? Davemitch@rocketmail.com or my phone 3303218274

I used to mount mine up high like on the rear downtubes but lately Ive been keeping them out of harms way down low. Anything near the outsides of the cage is liable to get busted up. Either from trees or a rollover.

I like 'em about halfway up your main rollbar x bracing. Pretty well protected, close to level with top of motor for shorter lines, and if your seat aint real close to torsion it'll gets good air.

I run mine between the Gas Tank and the engine, just a little higher than the engine. I run mounts off the side tubes to mount the cooler.
