Using the rear foot peg that I did the rubber mount mod to, I kind of winged it building the hanger and had to do a bit of bending and twisting of the hanger Bracket to clear things. It's made of 1/8" plate cut with a torch and cleaned up on a grinder and Drilled to fit the Tail section of the longshot pipe side mount, 2 bolts used " single hole at the top to bolt in behind the foot peg bracket using the foot peg bolt or a 3/8" bolt if your riding solo.
