Hi Peter

I've fitted mine the other way up, with the vertical lugs on the bottom fitting into holes in a couple of pieces of 25x3 bar that will be welded to the bottom of the front frame. I had a couple of rubbers that came off some old shocks and have them between the steel and the bottom of the rad to provide some cushioning.

At the top I have the same 25x3 twisted through 90deg so it can be simply bolted to the top of the front frame.

The decision on which way up was purely on what I thought was going to give more clearance when it came to fitting the pipes, but I haven't got that far so don't know how well it will work.

One thing I'd recommend is not to fix the mountings until you have the nosecone in place - it's a bit tight and took me a lot of fiddling to get a good position.

Matt
