You Betcha
Just took some of this..., some of that - then threw it together - LOL
Bolts - 1/2"-13 X 7" - Qty 4
Nuts, locking - 1/2"-13 - Qty 4
Washers - 1/2" x 1 1/4 - Qty 16
Spacers - 1/2" x 1" L - 4
Angle iron - 1" x 1" X 9" L (I cut out the existing cross member w/ angle grinder - then installed this angle farther back to make room for the kick stand)
What you can't see - I cut 4 pieces of 1/2" pipe..., then installed them under the arms (two each side..., with the bolts going through) to give the arms more rigidity
Black krylon to paint the thing after I was done modifying
HTH

Grade 2 bolts are low/medium carbon steel; Grade 8 bolts are medium carbon alloy steel, quenched and tempered. Grade 2 proof at 55k PSI; Grade 8 proof at 120k PSI.
You decide. What's your bike worth to you? I used Grade 8 bolts when I did use a modded Fear Lift, and I still didn't trust it

I'd like to hear from anyone who used Grade 2 on this mod?
