David should be able to shoot you a PDF of the instructions for the hard-point installation. That will show you the locations of interest. I know, that the hard-point kit is able to be retrofit to existing RV-10s too. In fact, the very first prototype that David did was to an already flying RV-10, so it certainly can be done later. If he isn't making the pods currently, then I'd imagine it'd be best to wait until he is before installing the hard-points. If he doesn't begin production again, it'd be a waste to just be carrying around the extra weight of the hard-points, for no good reason. I already have my MotoPod completed, although my RV-10 is not yet flying. I also have the MotoCycle that's specifically made for the pod, which I take for a ride every so often, for fun and to keep the bike in good working order. This summer I rebuilt the motor, because I was getting blow-by in the cylinder. Now it's got fresh rings, carb, flushed brake lines, new, heavy duty tubes and tires, and is all lubed and happy. The pod works great and will certainly be a great addition to the utility of the RV-10, once I'm able to get it flying. I'm almost finished with the doors (finally), so I will be getting my bird on its legs soon, then comes engine, prop and avionics.
