a good way to check this stuff out before even ordering bars is to scale model it with paper first. figure out how far apart (y axis) the bars will be at the front attachment and at the rear axle. then cut some paper strips and use round head fasteners (office supplies) and a hole punch to make an "axle" and "bars" and a "frame"

then you can use a pencil to trace the pinion angle at different heights.

So why does this set up work if from side view bars are equal length. Id Like to redo mine a little so I can run bags on bars.
