Dan,
Looks great BTW, Can you get a picture of how you did the hinge points and the with the hood open against the weight bar?
Thanks

OK
You can see how I had to lower the gas tank to make room for it to tilt.

Before

After
I ended up reworking the whole weight bar to make this work.

Note I moved the batteries in for the pivot tubing and dropped everything to miss hood when in the open position.
