Improved quite a bit, 20% maybe. I really babied them during breaking and seems to have had the rings seal up pretty good. Never used a full tank of gas on the Hawkeye on a trip and the first trip with both machines showed the same fuel consomption but that was driving pretty conservatively.

the only way i see to do it is drill holes in the back rack to either mount it flat or upright w/ the bracket. heres a couple of pics mounted on my 800 rack.
