Tony, I just installed my bracket like your third pic, and was just about to order the Rotopax bracket and one gallon can. After looking at the dimensions of the one gallon can, it's clear that a bracket needs to be offsets the can can clear the bottom of the rack. Where did you get the plate that you bolted to the bracket? I was thinking about using similar spacers, like the ones that came with the bracket, to mount a Rotopax mount directly to the bracket. That way the can would clear the bottom of the rack. I also don't want it too high as to interfere with any luggage on that side. Just talking out loud. Interested in any other options if anyone has any good ideas. Thank you.
The plate is a Rotopax Single Mounting Plate.

Installed the Barkbuster handguards tonight. It was surprisingly painless, not like it usually goes for me. On both grips, I rolled the grip back enough to get two screwdrivers on the tabs. I had the OEM bar end weights off in about 5 minutes. The handguard install went smoothly. I purchased the additional weights that go on the outside of the bar, in case what was included isn't enough, but I'll ride for a bit and see how I like it. The whole evolution took about an hour. I suppose I could have gone faster, but I'm pretty pokey when I'm tinkering in the garage. It's my favorite thing to do.

I removed some of the pouches on the headlight rack and consolidated. I put all my tire repair stuff into a 5.11 ammo bag I had, and found a KTM pannier liner from my 390, and strapped it to the rack. I like it better.

I put another RAM mount on the upper bar of the front rack, and found an old RAM X mount for an early Iphone. It worked great for the spare Garmin Zumo. The cable won't give me traffic, but I don't think I'll need it. I just need power.

183 is back on the lift for more mods. Someone on the CT125 FB page posted about the GCraft Gen2 Side rack. I immediately ordered one from Webike. It was here in less than a week. I had to really do some McGyvering on the Gen 1 to get it to accept my Rotopax mount. The Gen 2 bolted right up, and I was able to mount the Rotopax adapter without having to resort to spacers and bend metal to make it sturdy. It's rock solid, and the the fuel and water containers have plenty of space to clear the rack.

In the coming days, I'll be adding bar risers, handhold, Diablo seat and YSS shocks from Beez. The seat and shocks should be here next week.

lol. Is there room for you on it? I wish I was half as mechanical.

Looks great. The Desert Tan seat reminds me of the classic aesthetic on some Indian motorcycles and their leather luggage.

I like the look too. I had a Suzuki TU200 a few years ago. The guy that installed the headliner in my Piper Cherokee also did Motorcycle seats. He redid my TU200 seat in this dark leather he had leftover from an interior he did on a Beechcraft King Air. That was a good looking comfortable seat. If this seat doesn't work out, I'll be going to him again.
