Dont forget to plate the joints.... It will keep the welds from failing... Here is how I did mine:

Good Luck!

my crossmember is also notched and its about 1/2" from rubbing when fully layed out back. so its something u should look into.

[green97nissan]

yeah i knowit is gunna rub but i wanted to put the crossmember in place so i can measure my link bars and get them cut to size ill notch it later once i get my frome c notched and 4 link in i think i will have the frame notched by this weekend

[crunchytaco]

looks like a fun project and a great start. and the dominator bags are dope,they are a very nice bag. are you going to runwater traps to the tank, if its going to be a daily its a good idea.just an option they keep things working longer.
