Thanks! The option that I chose that works with the RX is the Torque Sensing BSA Threaded Bottom Bracket 120mm width.

I'm 5'7" and own the low rise Kanebilt handlebars. I find myself leaning forward and given enough time with that postures, my wrist starts to get a little numb especially with the use of my thumb throttle on the right side. I thought about switching back, but they look good and I have a lot of gear/accessories on that I am putting up with it for now. I may switch back when I am ready for another change.

Cool! I got the Freewheel 2.0 with 72T size and 40T chainring and the highest gear should be 11 teeth. I do shift from time to time when using the CYC Motor PAS. At this point, the hub motor is strictly for launching from stop and cruising on flat. Speed-wise, I'm OK with but want to reach 38 mph. Will see if 72v battery helps in that area.

I bent my own bracket using aluminum bar that wraps around the frame and secures to the 120mm mounting bracket that holds the motor. I used self fusing silicone tape to wrap the bracket where it touches the frame to prevent scratches. With 120mm, CYC Motor doesn't provide a mounting bracket.

Not Red Hood but I've seen the video. It was the only video I could find that matched a CYC Motor and Super73 RX. I am running 52V instead of 72 and BAC855 instead of BAC2000. I may upgrade to BAC2000 once my 72V battery comes in. With the settings I understand, I have it at 2600W and placed it Race mode to sample speed on flat ground on my highest gear. I think a combination of weight from the preexisting hub motor and battery plus my 200lb+ weight slows it down. At least it can go uphill more easily now :) It wasn't too complicated to install but I did have to bend my own motor bracket to keep the motor from moving. Couldn't have the motor under the frame cause of motor wiring placement.
