Not boring me. Got a kit put together yet with mounting plates that set bag cone angles straight when at correct ride height? "Wrap it up...ill take it"

I hope I am not boring anyone but several people had asked about the ride with the new airbags. I took it to Rend Lake this weekend and it seems to handle much better then with the OEM system. It seems, and this is just my biased opinion, that it tends to roll a lot less in the corners. I felt much more confident that it would not push out like it did before. I think the larger area of the bags helped in this, but again this is just a subjective opinion and it is worth just what you paid for it. :)

Sorry I am not interested in selling kits. If you want advice on how I did it I am more then happy to offer. I am not set up for selling stuff and Honestly you could make it a lot cheaper then I could make it and ship it. Takes about $30 worth of metal and some torch gas and welding wire. Thats about it.

MArk, I thought about you, and your bags, when we rolled by the lake this afternoon.

This seems interesting, maybe you can list the specifics on the plates and angles of the brackets, and any other items need, my OEM bags are still functional but I'd like to build a pair for backup and or replacement.
Thanks

We were there. Got the Seadoos wet and sat out on the poontoon boat all day. Back to work for us today though. Hopefully will have all the bugs worked out on the GMC by the time I am ready to join the ranks of the retired.
