VSS Fire Extinguisher Mount

I just finished installing my new fire extinguisher mount from Vincent Speed Shop and wanted to show the community. It was very easy to install as is used two preexisting 12mm bolts from the dash.

I was overall impressed with the fit and finish of the piece and it is very sturdy. The only downside I had was that it didn't fit the bracket of my H3R extinguisher as Vincent uses a different bracket for mounting the extinguisher he optionally sells with the kit.

Nice. How bulky is it? Does it get in the way for passengers? I wonder how well it’d work on track. I do HPDE and need to carry passengers from time to time. Thinking they might kick it inadvertently under hard braking/cornering (would add acceleration but who are we kidding?)

The aluminum mount itself doesn't take up any space. It is all down to the size of extinguisher you want to use. I wouldn't have any issue riding with it but very large people might. It takes up about the same space as a woman mediumish size purse.
