I just finished a beast-style mod to my API sticks, but I took it a step further and offset the steps and brackets to allow them to stack vertically. I used nutserts/rivet nuts so the sticks stack closer together. I got the idea for the nutserts from SRT Saddle Hunter on YouTube (link below). My steps are 22.5" apart with a total stick length of 25". I would have liked to make the step spacing a little less, but I'm planning to carry these on a JX3 and needed enough space to span the folded up bottom frame. Weight, including 7/64" amsteel daisy chain, is 2#5oz per stick with a total weight for the set coming in at about 6#15oz. With a simple bungee loop around the stack they carry really well.

I actually saw this on facebook and I considered it.
