Looks good. I am a fan of anyone who can fab something like that.
Do you have a support running forward? I ask because I suspect in a front collision that could be a disastrous solution, a 100lbs of pain headed your way.
Maybe leave it at home and only carry it on trail runs would be the best answer?
