Has anyone mounted a gun boot yet? I ordered the rear rack extended rack and a Kolpin bracket. Don't know if it is going to work, but hoping.

There's photos of a nice scabbard setup in this thread: https://hondatrail125.com/index.php?threads/new-molle-pouch.205
You could probably mount the Koplin boot up front in a similar fashion along the forks if it doesn't work out on the rear rack.
Thanks, but most of my use will be in Colorado where rifles have to be totally enclosed. I guess a fully zippered case would work, but I am not smart enough to figure out how to mount that without specific instructions.

I saw that too, but I wouldn't feel comfortable putting a nice rifle in there… And if I recall correctly, it doesn’t hold much weight?

I think it has max weight of 3kg. which you're right isn't all that much... would be just enough for a Ruger AR-556

I just made this fit. Had to bent the top arm straight and back, and had to cut the bottom mount off some. I used the reflector mount as an attachment point.

No welding, I could have, but didn't see the need. I did heat up the top arm to bend it. My scabbard will be here Sunday. I'll mount it and slide a rifle in for a photo op. I'm in NJ, so I can't really ride around with the rifle mounted. I might for a short video. I asked the Ebay seller if it would fit the 125, but he didn't answer me. He most likely didn't know. I don't know if he makes these, or just bought them from some unknown place.

Any movement while riding? More along the lines of flex than swaying bags.
