So, I finally got my front cargo box for my 850, and I just received my 2+2 Rotopax fuel tanks and deluxe mounts last night. I’ve been planning on mounting the Pax on top of the cargo box as many of you have, but just eyeballing it last night figuring out (roughly) where the mounts will end up on the lid it doesn’t look like all four holes of the mount will be on the "flat" part of the lid. (I hope this makes sense). One of the holes is over the part of the box that dips down 1/4 inch or so. Again, I haven’t done anything permanent yet, just eyeballing everything for about 10 minutes last night before I went to bed.
Question is: how do your mounts sit on your lid ? I can easily put three bolts on each mount which will probably be plenty, or I could put a few washers under the mount on the low spot as spacers to put four bolts in…
OR should I just buy the mounting bracket from Rotopax and mount it to the lid ? What did you guys do ? Pics would be helpful.
Thanks everyone.
