Seth,

That looks really good!  So you are a handyman too!
Where are you going to get it powdercoated?

It looks pretty good. The lower cross bar in front gives a good place to mount a chute mirror, plus a place to mount RAM mounts to hold a radio and/or GPS. I have both on my Pegasus right in front of me and it is a handy spot to use both. Also, since my radio antenna sticks out in front it works fine there without any extension and external antenna.

Good idea, I was going to add the GPS to the cross bar but I'm not sure about the chute mirror.  Everything looks odd in the chute mirror with frontal bars. Guess I will have to get used to it.  Seth

I mount my mirror on the steering tiller on my Pegasus and I positioned the mirror far enough forward so that the frontal bars are not in the way of the mirror, but not too far that the mirror hits the front wheel when the tiller is switched over to a tow handle.

I do not have a low cross bar on my frontal bars (the Pegasus has one just above my head in front of me) but I mounted my Radio and GPS right there where yours is, except mine is mounted to the frontal bars themselves.

I am considering mounting my EIS warning light there also. The only bad comment I have on the Pegasus is that the steering tiller sits right on top of the EIS and hides part of it during flight. If my red warning light goes off, I may not see it because the tiller may be blocking it.
