Katana 2

I used the dump on the left side. And also the bottom of the left side found it pretty easy and I did have to break trim a bit to vent.

Does it say somewhere what size is the bungee? Any pics of you with the bottles in trim?

thank you for sharing!

I’ll measure to make sure but I believe it’s 8mm / 5/16" bungee.

I didn’t care for the QFS lumbar pad or the individual lower tank clips on mine so I had to make a change:

Where did you purchase the equipment you used to modify? Looks nice

Thank you for the kind words.

I feel obligated to disclose that I do not get credit for the idea; I first saw the idea via Sump UK's facebook page. They have since revised their design but I prefer this style.

This design, i.e., specific geometry was CAD'd by me and fabricated in my personal machine shop for me and a fellow SM buddy.

FWIW, it was not designed for the Katana but it was extremely easy to incorporate it. Having the two lower attachments on one plate radically increases torsional rigidity of the system and I prefer it.

Here's rough dimensions:

Edited post above about loop bungee diameter. It is 8mm / 5/16" bungee.
