I am going to look at it today to see if some rods can be run to the frame or something and still look nice.

    If you look closely at the pic below, just behind the head light, you'll see what Grabowski did.

    Another alternative would be to tie into your headlight stanchions if they're in a place that will work. A small, unobtrusive bracket, perhaps doubling as a tube to hide the wiring.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
