First time at something with bars, this is what we came up with, but a couple of thoughts in my head are ---  1st is are the bar mounts too close (we can run a mount out of the holes and spread the bars), 2ndly are we asking too much of the mount with the bars set up like that. I can see the mount being twisted downwards at the rear if it gets hit with enough force, breaking studs and worse.

Mine is different than yours, but still uses the trans mount. I added gussets going forward that attach to the frame horns to spread the load. I made the gussets two piece. A tab that welds to the frame horn and a tab on the trans mount so they can be unbolted for trans removal
