2008 Mobius LSV ballast upgrade?
Hello all,
A good friend of mine has a 2008 Mobius LSV that I am fortunate enough to ride behind. It only has the factory Gravity I, center tank ballast, and he is wanting to upgrade. Actually, he is wanting me to do the upgrade...fortunately, I'm mechanically inclined and have a descent shop and tools. So, I'm wanting to do it right the first time which is why I'm here. I've seen a couple of posts with guys doing similar upgrades but I'm hoping to get a lot of feedback / point of views of whats the best way to go and why. Here's what we're after:
A factory clean look (switches, connections, etc)
2 bags in the back and maybe a "V" bag up front
Quick, strong, and dependable
I've been hearing about guys doing it one way only to change it later. Others liking or not liking their setup. I'm hoping to get it right the first time.
So, any direction on the following would be much appreciated:
Bag types and size (I hear some guys put 750's in the rear and others putting 1100's)
Pumps?? flow size, diameter, reversable?
hoses, connections, etc..
where to get supplies from?
Also, and quite important, how much can I plan on spending?
Thanks!

If you surf at all get 1100 rear bags. Starting from scratch (which G1 is basically) I'd get reversible pumps with 1" lines. Definitely get the bow sac.

Plenty of room for 1100s to fill. Eventually the engine divider may bow from the weight. You can tolerate it, add an extra hinge, or add varying levels of aluminum reinforcement, all depending on your level of concern.
