So much want!!! While this was just using parts I literally had sitting on the floor, I quickly found the issue with the tubing clearing the radiator/brace & hood. I figured it'd either have to be solved by swinging wide like SoLo did or going oval like Travis did. No offense to SoLo because he did something no one else has yet, but I like Travis' design much better. I'm torn though...SoLo has a wide sweep much like the MSR design so there's no tight bends, but that top plate kills the look of it...but I'm assuming it's for bracing, which is something Travis will need to incorporate as well. Either way, I'm super excited to see something finally released for us. Someone complete one and let me test it already :-)
