Dual bolt setup question...

[jetx]

Alright, my plan is to run the xmetal dual bolt setup on my rounnose this year...I have no intentions of reinforcing the pole bracket area or any other areas this year as my riding doesn't really require it...however I was thinking about the added force that is going to be exerted on the mount area since it is going to be a stiff setup. Anyone run there pole like this and notice any problems?? Don't want to crack the hell out of the mount area the first time out. I guess what I want to know is it going to be strong enough on its own. Opinions?

IMO you should probably consider reinforcing the mount area. The stiff pole will flex that area and I would think that cracking is inevitable. I reinforced all around the mounting area when I installed the X-Metal setup on the wife's square last year. It seems to be holding up, but I still notice some flex in that area, prolly should have gone heavier on the reinforcement.
